Everything You Need to Know About Becoming a Foot Model

Have you ever been told you have beautiful feet? Do you take pride in perfectly pedicured toes and silky-smooth skin? If so, you might have what it takes to become a foot model—and we at BMA Hands would love to help you get there!

While feet may not seem like the most glamorous subject, foot modelling is a huge part of the advertising and fashion world.

We are always on the lookout for new talent to feature in campaigns for:

• Beauty products: Foot creams, lotions, and nail polishes.
• Footwear: From elegant high heels and sandals to everyday sneakers and socks.
• Medical products: Orthotics and foot care solutions.
• Lifestyle advertising: Your feet might be used to convey a sense of comfort, relaxation, or high fashion.

It’s a specialised field, and we’re passionate about finding models who have what it takes to succeed.

What We Look For in a Foot Model

When we’re reviewing applications, there are a few key characteristics that make a foot stand out. We’re looking for:

1. Impeccable Skin: Smooth, evenly toned skin without any visible blemishes, scars, or calluses.
2. Well-Proportioned Toes: Straight, evenly spaced toes with attractive nail beds.
3. Healthy Nails: Your nails should be clean, strong, and well-maintained.
4. A Graceful Arch: A nice arch can make a foot look more elegant and photogenic.
5. Overall Shape: We look for a generally appealing and symmetrical foot shape.
6. Size: It’s helpful if you have a common shoe size, as this is often what brands need for their product shoots.

Even if you don’t tick every box, we encourage you to apply! Every client has different needs, and we represent a wide range of talent.

Building Your Foot Modelling Portfolio

Your portfolio is your first impression, and it’s how we’ll decide if you’re the right fit for our agency. You can put together your own portfolio, and we have a few tips to help you make it as compelling as possible.

• Be Smart with Your Shots: You don’t need a fancy studio. Take a variety of photos in a well-lit space with a clean background. Focus on close-ups that show the unique shape of your feet, toes, and arch.
• Show Variety: Make sure to include a range of shots. Showcase your feet both barefoot and in different types of shoes.
• Keep It Pristine: Before you take a single photo, your feet must be in their absolute best condition. That means perfectly pedicured, moisturised, and flawless.

Beyond the Agency: Building Your Social Media Presence

Even once you’re signed, it’s a great idea to build your own brand online. A strong social media presence can bring in new opportunities and show clients just how marketable you are. Create a professional Instagram or TikTok to showcase your work.

• Post Only the Best: Think of your social media feed as a mini-portfolio that’s always up to date.
• Use the Right Hashtags: Use things like #footmodel #feetmodel #partsmodel #footcare to make sure you’re found.
• Engage with Your Audience: Respond to comments and build a community.

A Final Word on Caring for Your Assets

Your feet are your most important tool, so you must treat them with care. We recommend a strict regimen that includes:

• Daily moisturising to keep skin soft and hydrated.
• Regular pedicures to keep your nails perfect.
• Sun protection to prevent sun damage and uneven skin tone.
• Comfortable footwear when you’re not on a shoot.
• Regular exfoliation to remove dead skin cells.

At BMA Hands, we believe that becoming a foot model is a unique and rewarding career path. If you have the right look and the dedication to take care of your feet, we encourage you to apply online. We can’t wait to see what you’ve got.
