Unrecognizable Model
An unrecognizable model is an individual shown in a photograph where their face or discernible characteristics are not visible. This approach keeps the product as the focal point while retaining a sense of human interaction.
Common examples include hand modeling, cropped images, and over-the-shoulder views; because the model remains anonymous, extra licensing or release contracts are typically unnecessary.
Pro Tip
Ensure faces and identifiable features are consistently concealed to maintain anonymity and reduce the need for additional talent releases.
Use Cases
Used in e-commerce and product photography when the goal is to highlight the product but still show human use or scale.
