Portfolio

A model's portfolio or "book" is an essential tool for getting work in the modeling profession. An agency will usually provide a modeling portfolio book to new models with the agency's name or logo on the cover. Of course it is up to the model to get the blank pages filled in.

At a minimum, your portfolio must have a head shot, and a 3/4 or full length shot:

* The head shot must be clear ( no diffusion ) and little but natural looking makeup. Avoid hats and sunglasses as these can hide your face too much.

* Your full length shot must reveal your figure somewhat, so a clingy dress, swimwear, or leotard might be used. Baggy clothes will quickly tip off viewers that you have something to hide.

It is also wise to be photographed by different photographers as each has his own style.

Much more can be said about the all important portfolio.
