What does an Industry professional want to see in a Model´s Portfolio?

Part Three:

What Industry professionals DO NOT want to see!

Selfies... and distorted phone pics.

Faces obscured with ¨creative¨ zombie or theme shoot style makeup

Nudes, not even topless. ( only exception is if you specialise in nudes to the exclusion of everything else...and really the internet modelling sites are not the way to get established as a professional art or glamour nude)

Heaps of almost identical pics of over made up, over photoshopped, badly lit, and obviously amateur efforts identical to everyone else on the site.

Huge and ugly watermarks on your photos placed there by photographers who want to use your portfolio to advertise themselves.

Your portfolio should be to showcase YOU and nothing else. ...if your photographer doesn´t treat you as the subject, and the sole reason for a folio shoot, simply get another photographer who understands what a model´s folio is all about.

A Model who also claims to be a MUA, stylist, stage crew, actor, full time mum, nuclear physicist, rousabout, photographer, ...Oh and I forgot has a full time job as well.

What to avoid like the plaque!

One self description which will send fear into even the most hardened professional photographer:  Model/Photographer

The words: ¨No experience´ next to ´Professional Model- paid work only.¨

Great long lists of everytime you have ever appeared in the same room as a camera, since the maternity ward you were born in .
