MODELS and PORTFOLIO



A portfolio is the most important tool a model needs to get professional work. It is ultimately your modelling CV and will advertise your skills and abilities in front of the camera. Without a model portfolio it is almost impossible to be put forward for castings, as agencies will need to know that you have the confidence and natural ability in front of the camera before finding you paid work.
A model portfolio is a collection of professional images and your portfolio must say something about you, SAINTCITY MODEL INNK don't want to see pretty images, WE want to see attitude, personality and ultimately how versatile you can be.

The way you present yourself in your model portfolio is hugely important as you will either lose or gain work dependant on its quality, and your portfolio should always be aimed towards the style of modelling you want to succeed in.

A model portfolio is an investment and a photo shoot will give you the chance to see if it is an investment worth making.
at SAINTCITY MODEL INNK our portfolio services include:

1. DIGITAL PORTFOLIO
Your digital portfolio is a disk containing your chosen images from the shoot (SOFT COPY). Having your images on disk also means that you don't need to worry about them ever getting damaged or lost as you can download them straight to your computer. They can also be used over and over again as you can email them to agencies or clients to promote yourself unlike prints where you only receive one copy. They also allow additional retouching, re-sizing and cropping where you or your agency sees fit.
 
2. PRINTED PORTFOLIO
Your printed portfolio is a book of 10 A4 fully airbrushed images. This book is what you will take along to castings and to model agency interviews to show them your modelling experience and what you are capable of in front of the camera. Just like your digital images your printed portfolio is a collection of professional images that need to say something about you, agencies don't want to just see pretty images, they want to see your personality, attitude and ultimately how versatile you can be.

Having a printed portfolio allows a casting director or agent at your interview to flick through your book of images while you discuss the job or campaign they are looking for models for. It gives the impression that you are serious about modelling and shows that you have professional modelling experience.

Here at SAINTCITY MODEL INNK we can help you complete your printed portfolio to get you started in modelling and then once you are signed to an agency or freelance modelling you can keep it updated with all the latest tear sheets and prints from your latest jobs.
