Does anyone out there have experience as a parts model? Specifically hands?

My friend/client just got asked by his agency to get into that game as well. What are some classic hand-model poses for a hand zed card?

Hmmmm...I guess the hand modeling thing is a pretty specific.

Anyway, here's what we came up with...

If anyone's got any thoughts, suggestions, experience, etc., would love to hear.

and a few more

I'd also throw in a shot using a touchscreen device.

That's me, conveniently blurred in the background:

Hand modeling constitutes such a small, limited sector of the print work market that I often dissuade actors from spending a lot of time or money pursuing it.

There are several reasons for this:

1) Drastic cutbacks in advertising budgets.
2) Hands aren't faces. One is essentially the same as any other.
3) Once creative directors find suitable professional hand models, they have no desire to seek more.

When casting directors are looking for new faces, seeing as much talent as possible is a necessity. But hands and feet have no specific, major differences-- that's why when agencies have found their favorite hand/foot models to work with, they tend to stay with them.

You're not going to see a lot of "open auditions" for hand modeling jobs.
