Do Modelling Portfolios Help You Get Signed To Modelling Agencies?
A well-crafted modelling portfolio can be your golden ticket to getting signed by a modelling agency. Your portfolio should showcase your versatility and range as a model but also present your experience and professionalism within such a competitive industry.
However, model digitals—also known as ‘polaroids’, are the minimum requirement for most agencies. These simple, unedited images give agencies a clear and honest look at your natural appearance, including body shape, skin complexion, and features without the influence of makeup, styling, or lighting.
They are considered the baseline for assessing a model’s potential, so having these at the ready is essential when approaching any modelling agency.

What should I wear to my modelling portfolio shoot?
We create a styling guide for each individual modelling portfolio to represent the models unique features and personal branding vision. While we don’t supply clothing for photoshoots, we can assist with props and accessories. During your free styling call, we’ll discuss your preferences, the looks you aim to achieve, and any specific themes you want to explore. This tailored advice ensures that you are perfectly prepared for the photoshoot!
Who takes your model portfolio photos?
We have a team of trusted photographers on our roster, each with their own unique creative style. This allows our stylist to match the right photographer to your styling guide, ensuring a personalised photoshoot experience.
Do I need to book a hair and makeup artist?
Hair and makeup is included in most of our packages, but they are always optional. You are welcome to book your own hair and makeup artist if you prefer. The HMUA’s we book vary depending on the styling guide as everyone has their own unique skill set!
Where are your photo studios located?
We have three photo studios available to book depending on the logistics of the photoshoot. For Melbourne bookings, we use either Polished Content’s studio in Yarraville which is really well equipped for creative portfolio shoots or for simpler shoots, we use the photo studio inside our Collingwood office complex. For Geelong bookings, we exclusively use Geelong Photo Studio which has a state of the art lighting system and many other key features for a comfortable photoshoot experience! Photo studio hire is included within all of our portfolio packages.
How should you prepare for a modelling portfolio shoot?
To ensure a successful modelling portfolio shoot, these helpful preparation tips will make a noticeable difference in your photographs:
1. If you choose to tan, make sure to do it a few days before the shoot to avoid any orange tones and to allow time for any tanning mishaps to even out naturally
2. Freshly cleaned hair and nails should be considered if you are planning to capture close-up shots of your face with your hands.
3. Stay hydrated and get plenty of rest leading up to the photoshoot to ensure you look and feel your best. Proper hydration keeps your skin looking fresh and glowing, while adequate rest helps in reducing dark circles and puffiness around your eyes.
4. Practice posing and facial expression in front of a mirror to build confidence and diversity in your poses, this can help you follow direction during the shoot.
Your attention to these details will enhance the overall quality of your images and positively impact your confidence and performance on the day.
Do you include model digitals in portfolio shoots?
Yes, if you’d like to capture a set of digitals before getting your hair and makeup done as part of our studio photoshoot packages, this is included and encouraged! We also offer digital only photoshoots for talent looking to update their comp cards or who have recently changed their look but don’t need a full portfolio captured.
Will I be given model posing tips and direction?
Absolutely! All our portfolio shoots include a stylist and photography assistant to assist with posing ideas and ensure you receive a diverse collection of stunning images. We understand it could be your first time in front of the camera and this is one of our secrets to providing a comfortable, professional and stress-free photoshoot experience.
How much does a model portfolio photoshoot cost?
The number of images you wish to capture and the variety of looks and locations you desire will determine the pricing of your photoshoot. We offer a range of portfolio packages for both studio and lifestyle shoots, ensuring you find the perfect fit for your needs. With our fixed fee service, you’ll experience no hidden costs, providing peace of mind and eliminating surprises after your deposit.
