In this interview, professional hand model Jorge Torres discusses the disciplined lifestyle and physical maintenance required to sustain a career in "parts" modeling. He details a rigorous regimen involving multiple weekly manicures, constant moisturization, and the protective use of gloves to prevent injury or weather damage. Beyond personal care, Torres explains the high-pressure nature of commercial production, where his hands must execute precise movements for major food and luxury brands. The conversation highlights the niche industry standards for hand aesthetics, such as "ethnically ambiguous" skin tones and the necessity of maintaining steady, caffeine-free hands for the camera.
