model portfolios

A MODELLING PORTFOLIO - WHAT IS IT? A modelling portfolio is a set of pictures taken by a professional photographer that will be an important tool in getting the best assignments. Generally a portfolio consists of 10-15 best pictures that will be presented to a specific client to create a lasting impression. These photos will consist of black and white to colour depicting the model in various poses, outfits and locations.

A strong portfolio opens opportunities as a weak portfolio could close them. Your portfolio might often be the only thing that a person will see before deciding whether to contact the model. There are qualities that all great portfolios share, and a variety of techniques that can help take your portfolio to the next level. Your portfolio should be appropriate to the situation and reviewer, and all portfolios should show creativity and ambition.

Throughout the photo shoot the fashion photographer and assistant will guide you to get that professional look. From a couple of hundred pictures your best will then be selected and will undergo professional fashion photo editing to form part of the finished product.
