Our Aim
For a model, their portfolio is their lifeline for work. It contains their 'WOW' factor, or to put it simply, it contains their very best work to date. Portfolios should be updated often, and in addition to photographs reflecting the models most current work, including tearsheets is recomended.
Model Portfolios
New to Model Portfolios ?
Before even attempting to put together a modeling portfolio, it is important to know what type of modeling you can do.
Be realistic. If you are too short for fashion, stick to commercial/print and lifestyle images. Use magazines and other publications as reference guides for the types of images you'll want to include in your portfolio. This will help you get an idea of the type of shoot you'll need to set up.
For models signed to agencies, your agent will have a sit-down with you and advise you as to what types of images should be in your portfolio. They will also recommend photographers for you to work with that the agency trusts. It is in your best interest to go with the photographer referred to you by the agent. If you go outside the channels, your agent may not like the photos, resulting in a waste of time, effort and a portfolio your agent can't use.
What should my portfolio have?
Review images or proofs after a shoot and only pick the best. Out of the bunch you'll want to make sure to have the following among your images: headshot, ¾ body shot, full body shot. You'll want different outfits and locations to show diversity as well. Play with poses and give a variety...if you have the same poses over and over your portfolio will be boring.
While you should show diversity in your looks and poses, don't go overboard. If you have too many different and wild images that don't relate to the type of modeling you do, you can confuse of overwhelm a client
