Modeling Career Guide
Learn how to prepare a clear, professional and relevant modeling portfolio for suitable casting and modeling opportunities.
Modeling Portfolio Guide
A modeling portfolio should make it easy to understand your appearance, presentation, experience and the type of modeling work you are interested in.
The goal is not to include as many photographs as possible. A focused collection of relevant, current and clear material can communicate your profile more effectively.
Step by Step
Use these steps to organise your portfolio and keep it relevant to the opportunities you want to pursue.
Use recent, clear photographs that allow your appearance and overall presentation to be seen accurately.
Select images that represent the type of modeling work you want to pursue instead of filling your portfolio with unrelated photographs.
Where appropriate, include a useful range of looks, expressions and styling that demonstrates your versatility.
Keep relevant information such as experience, skills and other professional details accurate and current.
If you have previous modeling work, include suitable examples that demonstrate your experience and abilities.
Review your portfolio regularly and replace outdated material when your appearance, experience or work changes.
Your portfolio should represent your present appearance. Avoid relying entirely on photographs that no longer reflect how you currently look.
Clear photographs are generally more useful than excessive editing or effects that make your appearance difficult to assess.
Include different suitable looks or styles when they help communicate the type of modeling work you can perform.
Keep the selection focused rather than adding photographs simply to increase the size of your portfolio.
