There are millions of pretty models out there.


That's why the best female model portfolios  show  the model's range and versatility.

  • Supermodel Naomi Campbell should know.  She said: "It's your job to be changed and [show] as many looks and as many different . . . facets of you that you can explore . . . . That's what makes a great model."
    — Naomi Campbell, in "Campaigns and Editorials: Building a Versatile Lookbook," MasterClass (www.masterclass.com).
  • Peter Lindbergh, one of the most influential fashion photographers of the last 50 years, was emphatic: "If you have a face that can be photographed from different angles, then you are a good model. The face is a mask that has to be worked with. The model must be able to act and be able to show emotions. I want to see a woman, not a mannequin."
    — Peter Lindbergh, in "From Fashion to Reality — 12 Statements by Peter Lindbergh," Medium (April 26, 2018).
  • Aaron Marcus, who booked over 1200 acting and modeling jobs in 30 years and literally wrote the book on how to succeed as a model, said "Showing a wide range of expressions in various photos will allow you to be considered for more jobs than if you just had one specific look in every shot."
    — Aaron Marcus, How to Become a Successful Actor and Model (2016).

Pretty Isn't Enough

     Gigi Hadid didn't do 160 covers for the best fashion magazines just because she’s pretty. She’s on top because she’s electric and unique and can model any look you want. To succeed, you’ll need to show some of that electric versatility.

That's where we come in.

How We Work

     We create the opportunity for you to express your unique talent and versatility, and then we electrify it with our own. 

     Our process is thoughtful and deliberate. It takes work by a team of creatives, and you -- especially you -- because it’s about you and no one else.  When we’re done, you’ll have a collection of versatile, creative, and unique portfolio photos in an editorial style that looks like work you got paid to do. And you won't have a pile of nondescript photos on backgrounds of solid gray, and solid white, and solid blech!  You’ll have distinctive work you’ll be excited to take with you to casting calls, use on social media, or on your own website.

What About Tests?

     Tests are a simpler process designed to explore the physical characteristics and modeling abilities of less experienced models.  They are shorter sessions than full portfolio shoots.  A hair and makeup artist will be needed, but you may not need a stylist if you are able to bring suitable clothing, yourself. 

Let's Talk
