Lingerie modeling is a traditional form of modeling in which models will only wear underwear and bra or other sexy and lacy garments. That is why this type of modeling is included under "glamour modeling." Lingerie modeling requires much better body tone and proportions than other modeling fields. This type of modeling exposes the models' beauty to maximum limit and also increases their charms. Models engaged in lingerie modeling come in many shapes, heights, sizes and colors. They may be petite, plus-sized, tall or thin models.
Lingerie modeling is widely present in fashion shows, catalogues, photographer's books, websites and calendars. Today, lingerie modeling is practiced more widely as an adult entertainment event, rather than an informative event. Many sports agencies in the United States arrange such modeling events in happy hours. These lingerie modeling shows offer an opportunity for couples to watch together, which is a good opportunity to know the preferences and likes of others.
There is always a great demand for models performing lingerie modeling. Today, more and more teenagers and children are engaged in this industry. Although lingerie modeling industry wants models of virtually all nationalities, black, Latin and Asian models have greater demands. Irrespective of nationality or age, the model must maintain a good body tone, with an active lifestyle involving exercise and balanced diet.
If you want to be a lingerie model, you can either work independently or with an organization/modeling agency. If you decide to work as a freelance model, you need to track assignments and non-exclusive contracts with your own abilities. 
You must create a good portfolio of photos that shows your personality and earlier assignments. If you sign a contract with a modeling agency, it is their responsibility to expose you to the world. US cities such as New York, Los Angeles, Chicago and Miami offer good lingerie modeling future to young models.
The payment for lingerie modeling can vary with modeling agency, show type and model rating. It is often the double of normal modeling rates. The payment is usually above $100 per hour, which can go up to thousands when the show is for major print ad and/or campaign.
