Some tips how to build model book for upcoming models.

A portfolio is a collection of a model's best model. portfolio is an essential part of your modeling career and it is very important that you keep updating your portfolio regularly There is a few tips to help you build a model book.

The model portfolio has to [present you and-



1. Give the client a chance to see just how you look in a variety of situations.

2. Shows the client that you have experience as model.

3. It demonstrates your ability and shows that you are photogenic.



A model portfolio (also called your "model book") should have 12 to 16 photos placed in sheet protectors so your images will be easier for a client to see and use. Only your best photos in your should be used for your portfolio.

A proper model portfolio case is absolutely essential

Always put your best 3 pictures in the front of your model portfolio and be sure to place them on the right side of the portfolio as you have it opened. Leave the left side free

Be sure to leave a strong finish to the conclusion of your model book. Do this by placing one of your best images on the last right hand page, and leaving the left side with no photos to distract.

Always try to use fashion model tearsheets form published work in your model book. It will give you a professional edge in the model market.

Make sure all your pictures are in perfect condition.

Use a real model portfolio case to hold your pictures and not a standard photo album.
You can get portfolio cases at professional photographers stores. I know Calumet carries great portfolio books.

You will want to include fashion magazine tearsheets in your model portfolio if you have them to give you a professional edge!

In your model portfolio there are certain model photographs you have to have in order to build a successful model look. These shots include: modeling headshots, full length photos, a photograph of the model smiling in the photograph, plus one or two action shots, several different photos with various hair styles, and a really outstanding body shot. These are just the basic types of photos you need to have in your model portfolio to make it a success.

All your shots have to be powerful.

You can't build a successful model portfolio overnight either. It takes months to create a powerful fashion model portfolio.

Good luck for all of you!
