Modeling Portfolio Tips




Your modeling portfolio is the tool of your trade so you need to craft it wisely to survive the toughest of journey. Since portfolio is a set of professional pictures that helps you in getting the best appointment so you need to tailor it according to your strength and the type of modeling you are pursing or interested. So at the very early stage of your modeling career you should inform yourself with all the requirements that are generally employed.

An 11 by 14 inches book or portfolio needed to be purchased from a modeling agency where you can keep your strongest snaps and impressive resume, 9 by 12 inches, 10 photographs clicked in 5 rolls for a new model is enough, where in each roll one to two dresses are used and the best 2 pictures are sorted. Your photographs play a very vital role in grabbing the attention of modeling agency. Because the sole purpose of the modeling portfolio is not just simply to exhibit your appealing look that is seen from outside but to display your ability to impersonate different characters, age ranges and personality that lies deep within you so you should try to maintain it.

Your portfolio must contain a high quality headshot with two different expressions- one smiling and one serious, or one in the studio and one outdoors. The headshots should also display the type of work you want to persuade. For instance if you want to opt for fashion model then you require two fashion shots- one casual and one a little more formal or if you want to be a swim wear model, have swim wear shots, etc. Whatever be your persuasion you need to stick to it. It is good to be versatile but trying every different thing at one time will make you "Jack of All and Master Of none." Take your own space; make some research on yourself as well as on different modeling agency and select that, which suits you. You will also need one beautiful Black and White head shot with minimal makeup because Black and White photograph is effective in conveying the different moods that the model wants to portray. Though Black and White televisions has been replaced by several high tech colored television and even the Black and White photographs do not get the same priority in our album but it is highly valued in the modeling industries still even though it may sound little different to your ears where the whole industry is so colorful in itself.

Lastly the way you organize your portfolio counts a lot. It should be well organized and visually appealing. Always keep in mind, as face is to your mind similarly your portfolio is to your personality. Therefore loose photos, torn or bent photos, loose slides, cut up contact sheets, etc are signs of a poor and sloppy portfolio presentation. So it is significant that you make an appealing portfolio.
