Every model would know how important it is to have a portfolio
that makes clients go 'ohhhhhh' or 'Wow'. As a model slowly matures and
gains more experience, the old photos in their portfolios will be
replaced with new and better ones. The pictures in the portfolio
represent how much one has grown and determine the model's experiences.
When a model goes for a casting, their portfolio is the one who dives in
head first before the model or if a model apply for a casting online,
they would need to send in their portfolio thus the client will pick
based on the photographs not the model. Bottom line is that a portfolio
will give their clients their first impressions of a model.
To have a compelling modeling portfolio, a model must
1. Always keep it updated
Whatever shoot you've gone to, ask for softcopy of pictures in return and pick the best one to be place into your portfolio. New polaroid? Just put it in. Change of hair colour? Snap a polaroid, update it.
2. 'Less is more'
Keep your modeling portfolio clean and fresh. Don't flood your book with every picture you've captured. Keep it at 6-12 pictures for new faces and 10-25 for experienced models.
3. Quality
Ensure that every photo inside your book is at top notch quality, printed on high quality photo papers. Also do provide only your best shots, shots that will wow clients off their heads. Set your bar high, so high that your poorest shot is also a great shot.
4. Varieties
It's always good to offer clients a variety of pictures with different poses, personality, outfits and mood. (eg: Casual, formal, high fashion, street style, sports, black and white) It allows client to analyze and determine how they are able to fit you into their projects or products.
5. Approach different amateur photographers for test shoots
Photographers are just like artists, they all have their own unique way of creating something artistic. You can never fully copy someone's technique or picture, is just almost impossible. If you know anyone who's looking for models for photo shoots, you can definitely give it a go as long as it's not dodgy. If you're low on budget, offer to model for free and ask for photographs in return or for a minimal fee. But if you're ballin', you can go for professional photographers who will guarantee to up your portfolio game.
The idea of your modeling portfolio is to demonstrate your exquisite looks, as well as show your capacity to depict diverse characters, age reaches and identity. Always bear in mind that in every portfolio must include headshots, full body shots, swim wear and body fitting shots thus allowing clients to estimate your body proportions and rough measurements without the need of measuring. To conclude, keep your modeling portfolios clean, neat, fresh and professional.
