Build a Portfolio That Opens Doors.

Digitals (also called polaroids or snaps) are simple, clean photos that show agencies exactly what you look like without heavy styling. Every agency requires them. They typically include a headshot, a waist-up shot, and a full-length shot.

Agencies want to see YOU, not makeup, not styling, not retouching. They need to evaluate your bone structure, your proportions, your skin, your natural look. That is why digitals are shot with minimal makeup and simple clothing. A fitted solid-color top and well-fitting jeans are usually all you need.

I format every set to agency submission standards: correct dimensions, proper file naming, and the right resolution. When you submit, your images look like they came from someone who knows the industry, because they did.

Your portfolio (or book) shows your range. It should include 10-15 strong images across different looks: beauty, fashion, editorial, lifestyle. Variety of wardrobe, lighting, and setting. Agencies flip through your book in seconds, and every image needs to earn its spot.

Avoid overly filtered images, extreme editing, or shots where styling overpowers you. Bookers see hundreds of portfolios. They are looking for models who can work, who can adapt to different concepts and deliver in front of the camera. Your book should prove that.

I help you curate a book that shows agencies you can work. We plan the session together, choose looks that demonstrate range, and shoot with the kind of variety that makes a booker stop scrolling.

Most agencies accept digital submissions through their website. You'll typically find a “Become a Model” or “Submit” page with a simple form. Here's what you need:

• 1.Your digitals: headshot, waist-up, and full-length. Clean, well-lit, minimal styling.
• 2.Your measurements: height, bust/chest, waist, hips, shoe size. Measure accurately.
• 3.Basic contact info: name, age, location, phone, email.

Tell me which agencies you're targeting before the shoot and I'll prep your set to their specs: dimensions, styling, the look that booker expects. The submission itself is yours to make, and I don't do referrals. What I do is make sure your images look like they belong when an agent opens them.
