Alexandra Berrocal, a New York model, makes $30,000 (Rs 25 lakh) a year. Do you know how? She only showed off her hands. Yes, you read it correctly. As with many others, the Brooklyn resident works in the fashion industry. Her job entails tasks such as pouring coffee into a cup or squeezing and smearing goods around."It's a very niche industry," the 37-year-old model explained to The New York Post.
"There's not that many people that know it's even a real thing," she said. Ironically, this is not even her major occupation. She works full-time in the footwear sector.

Berrocal's gigs are inconsistent. She earns roughly Rs 62,588 for a five-hour shot and Rs 1 lakh for a forty-minute shoot.
Alexandra Berrocal has modeled for major brands including YSL, Microsoft, Brandon Blackwood, Macy's, Shake Shack, Kiss Nails, and Serena Williams Jewelry.
She takes images and films while holding the things in her hands. She claims that when she presented her portfolio to fashion brands, she was selected within 10 minutes.
She acquired this position because of the color, nails, and shape of her hands. These jobs can occur two to three times per month, with the possibility of increasing to ten times.
What did she realise about the hand modeling industry?
Berrocal claims she discovered that brands want even skin complexions, thin fingers, good nail beds, and clear skin free of tattoos and scars.
She claims to have little hands, but this works to her advantage because she generally shoots beauty products. "And I think because my hand is so small, I make the product look bigger," remarked Alexandra Berrocal.
How does she takes care of her hands?
The model keeps her nails manicured and in a short almond shape. She wears gloves when doing domestic chores. She protects her hands by always moisturizing them.
While sharing tips, she shared, ¡°If you wash your hands, make sure to put lotion on immediately after, because your hands are one of the first places that show ageing.¡±
