We offer portfolio building sessions for aspiring actors and models.
Let us help you build your "book" and get more call backs.
We have experience working with a number of "signed models" on past projects and are an "agency approved" photographer with our work being featured in a variety of model portfolios.
We can help you grow your book and shoot either in studio or on-location in order to help you build a solid portfolio of images demonstrating your range.
You are likely aware of the importance of having a great modeling portfolio, but perhaps you are not sure exactly what photos should be included in “your book.”
Generally speaking, your portfolio should only include your very best “wow” photos and should never include more than 30 photos.
Eliminate your "good" photos and any photos you are on the fence about.
It is better to have a smaller portfolio of "wow photos" than a larger portfolio that is diluted with just ok or even "good" pictures.
Each market is also unique and what may work in one market, may not work in another. For this reason, it is important to be in tune with the trends in the specific area you want to work in.
Here in the San Francisco Bay Area, JE Model Management is one of the larger agencies with a division for fashion, lifestyle, and talent. Look and Scout Models are two other reputable agencies here in the Bay Area.
As you will likely notice, each individual agency also has a specific look that they feature. This is another subtly to be aware of.
Although many modeling agencies do not require professional photographs to be considered, it is to your advantage to do everything possible to get an edge.
Many models are choosing their own photographers to help build their books at a considerable savings.
