When shooting images for your portfolio our goal is to show a wide range of looks and emphasize your best attributes.

Our ultimate goal is for potential clients to see something in the images, they can relate to and, based on that, want to hire you. In my experience and considered opinion, the most important shots for obtaining work, in order of importance are as follows. This applies equally to both acting and modeling, glamour and fashion.

1). A fashion lingerie shot. This is the single most important image, revealing face, figure and modeling skill in a single shot. If a model can bring a fashion sense to a lingerie image without becoming cheesy or sleazy, she can handle practically any assignment.

2). A commercial bikini shot showing how her body really looks.

3). A glamour shot which tastefully reveals as much of your body as you are prepared to display.

4). A beauty shot revealing accurate eye and teeth color, the length and texture of your hair, and the extent of ear and any other facial piercing.

All other shots are filler, adding dimension and diversity, but these four shots are the foundation of a sales-oriented portfolio.

For the experienced models we have very reasonable rates.
