so let's get

into this

all right guys so what is a model portfolio?

well a model portfolio is

basically your best pictures that you can show to the client so that they can book

you for jobs

that's basically it

but let's get into this a little bit

more.

you might get a book like this This is my model portfolio

I'm from South

Africa and my mother agency is boss models

now this is their book and what

you do is you take one of these books You go to the casting and you show it

to the client and a client look through your book and they see what kind of

model you are

now I'm more of a commercial type of model which is more

smiling more natural

You can see it in the photos and they go through these pictures

and they see basically the experience that you have as a model

and they book

you based on your portfolio but also how you appear to them in the castings

and how you fit their clothes

so the model portfolio is very very important

to get jobs. The better your model portfolio is

the better chances you have for better and more jobs

So how do you get a good model portfolio?

well if you're a beginner number one you have to do it

as many test shoots as you possibly can the quicker you get a better portfolio

set up together the better chances you have to get good modeling jobs

how do you get test shoots?

well your agency can probably help you with that

they have the contacts. They just set up a test shoot and that's how you start to get

pictures.

now the pictures that you have to focus on first is you have to get at

least a good headshot it's very very important

then you also

need some picture that shows off your body

then you can bring in different

styles you can bring in the business kind of clothes, suit clothes and you

can bring in sport clothes.

varieties key you have to give different angles as

well. look in the mirror and see which sides of your face looks the best is it

the left? is it the right?

then which side the smiles you know from the camera

straight from the camera to the left or the right

so look and practice.

Also your frowns: you have different frowns

look at the mirror, practice a little bit and see what is really good so that when

you do the test shoots you can give a variety of expressions, variety of poses

and a variety of angles that you do in front of the camera

all right so you do the

test shoots. So after you've done a couple of test shoots, you would be able to go to

some castings and hopefully you can book some jobs

so at the beginning you need

to do a lot of test shoots, right then as you start getting jobs, you'll start

to get more and more pictures, but getting new pictures will never stop

this is something that you will continually do - as a model even if

you're experienced it doesn't matter you need to continually update your book so

that it corresponds with your age and also with your experience
