Model's Portfolio

In the world of entertainment, the business calling-card for models is called a 'portfolio'. This is a photo album that presents a model to potential casting crews, producers and advertisers. The portfolio includes a collection of 5-7 photos that had been taken by a professional portfolio photographer, whose intention is to make you look as good as possible.

The production of a professional portfolio includes a hairstylist, a make-up expert and sometimes even a stylist. The production of a models portfolio is the first step taken after being accepted to a model agency. Those portfolio photography sessions can be very costly; an agency that is serious about signing you will not charge you for this service. It is extremely important for you to keep your portfolio up-to-date, especially if you have changed something significant in your looks.

The portfolio can be a model's real audition: it shows casting professionals how the model looks through the camera lens, how they deal with the studio and with being photographed. Does the model make sure her best features are captured? Do her eyes brighten as the camera flashes at her? Is she sexy? Potential isn't enough - only potential that can be seen and captured by the camera counts in themodellingindustry.

As time passes, the portfolio will get bigger with your realmodellingwork.
Models should bring between 3-4 sets of clothing to a portfolio shoot. Those should include a bathing suit, high-heeled shoes and other options to choose from. If a stylist is working on the set together with a hairstylist and a make-up artist, it shouldn't be a problem to know which clothes suit you best.

If you're arriving on a portfolio shoot for the first time, make sure you do it after a very good night's sleep. You should take into consideration that it will take between two and three hours to prepare and shoot. Listen carefully to the directions that the photographer will give - he will know how the camera will make you look best. Before printing, the photographer will touch-up his work with the help of the computer.
