Modelling with the right attitude can be an actors stop gap between jobs or just a lot of fun - even as a hobby.

Unlike female modelling male modelling is less defined - yes you have commercial - but it's really quite varied.

act4ward again keeps the whole idea simple - how to work the camera, how not to upset the client - building up a portfolio and how not to be exploited with expensive but ineffective photoshoots.

Confidence is important so we major on that - parents of children need to understand what a commercial customer may want from their child in the form of dress and context.

A more specialist area for 18+  is life modelling - again a popular option for some actors.

Adult and glamour work is never part of any William David work so is excluded.

Young models are part of The Halfling Project remit age 5 -16

Commercial modelling can be a hard game but fun too. 

Although modelling is not a core brief to act4ward it can be included by request.  

What may be included in photoshoots is dependent on the aims of the model.

Actors will get a good grounding in what they need to consider to offer it as part of their "brand".

Older [over 18 actors] often consider more specialist work such as forms of "life" modelling and product placement/endorsement.

Teen work - Modelling can be varied - often includes sports and leisure wear. Most modelling sites consider 16 the starting age otherwise it's children's work - mainly commercial. Beware of scams - this is covered as part of the work with act4ward    

Be aware that "glamour" modelling is not porn - know your limits and stick to them.

Older models may go into forms of "pin up" work - but be aware of not taking it to far!
