What is a Modeling Portfolio
In short - a collection of photographs.
How important are these photographs?
Critically!!! The first step to getting noticed in the modeling industry is to produce a portfolio that will showcase your work as a model, and your portfolio is a resume and main promotional tool!
The first thing the modeling agencies and fashion industry clients want to see are your pictures. Many of them will not schedule an interview without seeing your photographs.
You can find so many advises regarding modeling portfolio and very often they are contradict to each other. Lets try to clear this subject.

Don't get confused between two different types of model portfolios:
INITIAL and PROFESSIONAL.

Your first - the INITIAL PORTFOLIO is just for the agencies.
Pictures must show your modeling potential. The best scenario if you shoot photo test with a good professional photographer.

Question: I was talking to photographer and he told me that I need to have 10 - 15 photographs to show to model agency. Is it true?
That is a CLEAR MISLEADING! The photographer is not your friend. His or her goal, stated in the simplest of terms, is to get you to order more photographs and spend more money.
3 - 5 photographs can work perfectly as initial portfolio for female and male models.
• Head shot;
• Full-length shot showing proportion of your body;
• Fashion
• Action.
