Model (person) Guide, Meaning , Facts, Information and Description
A model is a person who acts as a human prop for purposes of art, photography, pornography, fashion, advertising, etc. Modeling is distinguished from other types of public performance such as an acting, dancing or mime artistry, although the boundary is probably not well defined. Appearing in a movie or a play is generally not considered to be modelling, irrespective of the nature of the role, so many models can also describe themselves as actors. Some models have acquired the status of sex symbol, and a highly paid model is sometimes known as a "supermodel". Supermodels are celebrities who may appear in advertisements endorsing products, and often parlay their fame into acting careers."Runway modeling" (also known as "catwalk modeling") is displaying fashion, "glamour modeling" usually includes elements of nudity or eroticism, while "nude modeling" describes any kind of modelling that is performed without clothes. Art school modeling involves posing for students of art.
