Glamour Models Versus Traditional Modeling

While many young ladies break into commercial print and advertising when starting out with their modeling career, glamor modeling is a much more intense division of the industry. Since this form of art intensely focuses on the beauty of the model, many women feel they have to be flawless and untouchable in order to look perfect on film. Unfortunately, this is often true.

Photographers use a triple threat regimen of lighting, airbrushing, and makeup to help achieve this flawless look and bring out the physical appeal of the model in question. That level of physical attractiveness has also changed in meaning over the years. Beginning with 1920s,glamour photography used to make actresses appear slim and lithe, but today's modern day glamour modeling often includes erotic poses for magazines such as Playboy.

Marilyn Monroe was one of the world's first high profile stars to participate in the new edgy definition of glamor modeling in 1953, and ever since then the industry has enjoyed mixed reviews and varying levels of judgment from the public.
