In your collection of modelling pictures, the number of pictures you require varies with the type of modelling you want to get in to and the criteria specified by the client or agent:
- Only keep your best pictures in your book. You are trying to sell yourself and you are as good as your worst photo.
- Aim for quality not quantity, no use having 10 pictures if only one of them is strong.
- Try to avoid having similar pictures that have similar looks, in your book unless there is a reason for doing so, or if it was asked of you.
- Some people in the industry favour black and white photography, but to satisfy both sides have a variety of black and white photos and coloured pictures.
- Buy yourself a strong covered portfolio book that can accommodate A4 sized pictures.
A versatile and simple portfolio can include, but not restricted to;
- a basic head shot,
- a stylized head shot,
- a conservative body shot like swimwear or underwear,
- a sexy fashion shot,
- an action like a scene or sporty shot,
- an editorial shot
- and even a catalogue shot.
This will show off your diversity for fashion, commercial and catalogue modelling. As you become more experienced you may replace your book with newer pictures, and fine tune your book to truly represent the direction and type of modelling you want to pursue.
