I’m a hand model in NYC – I’m earning $30K a year just holding things on camera

She’s putting everything on paws.

New York beauty Alexandra Berrocal is as hardworking as any other model in the Big Apple — except that a day on the job doesn’t require much heavy lifting for the Brooklyn resident, who earns $30,000 a year simply by showing off her hands.

“It’s a very niche industry,” the 37-year-old told The Post. “There’s not that many people that know it’s even a real thing.”

“A lot of times, I’ll tell my friends like what I did for a gig and they’re, like, ‘What? You got paid to pour coffee into a cup or, like, squeeze product into your hands and rub it around like that?’” she added.

Berrocal started modeling around 2019, meting out her mitts to brands like YSL, Microsoft, Brandon Blackwood, Macy’s, Zales, Shake Shack, Kiss Nails and Serena Williams Jewelry, landing these gigs by finding “parts modeling agencies” to represent her.
