What is a modeling portfolio?
It's a collection of your best modelling pictures. How many pictures you might need varies, but it should have about 20 -24 photos. Portfolio is a set of professional pictures that will help you in getting the best assignments. It is best to only keep strong pictures, because you are only as good as your worst picture. As you gain experience you may wish to replace the older pictures with newer one. Keeping your best picture at the end will leave a lasting impression.
As a photographer, I aim for quality not quantity. Most of the times, your portfolio is the only thing a person sees before deciding whether or not to contact you, and often you are not present to explain it, especially on-line portfolios. During your modeling portfolio photo shot you will have a casual head shot, head shot styled by stylist, full body shot wearing conservative swimsuit or lingerie, a sexy fashion shot, action shot, an editorial shot or a catalogue shot. You will have at least two fashion shots, one casual and one a bit more formal. If you move well, we will include an action shot as well. And, you will have "full-length shot" required by most of the agencies, showing the proportion of your body, shoulders to the top of your head, waist to shoulders, thighs to waist, knees to thighs and feet to knees. B&W head shot with minimal makeup will also be included.
