Model Portfolio Shoot & Testing
I enjoy helping models at every stage of their careers. Whether you're just getting started or already signed with an agency, I focus on providing the exact images that agencies require. I’m not in the business of selling false hope—just solid, professional images that help you move forward. These shoots are designed to meet the practical standards that agencies look for, ensuring you get what you need to stand out.
Common Agency Requirements:
Agencies typically expect the following types of images for both male and female models:
Headshots: Clean, natural images that show your face clearly without heavy makeup or styling.
Full-Length Shots: Images that showcase your full body, helping agencies assess your proportions and presence.
Range of Expressions: Agencies look for versatility, so having shots that show different moods or expressions is key.
Simple, Natural Styling: Most agencies prefer minimal makeup and simple clothing to highlight your natural look.
Usual Requirements for Male Models:
Height: Typically 5'11" to 6'2" (180 cm to 188 cm).
Build: Lean and athletic, but agencies appreciate individuality, so not all male models need to fit this mold.
Grooming: Clean-shaven or with well-kept facial hair. Agencies often prefer a versatile look that can suit both commercial and high-fashion work.
Usual Requirements for Female Models:
Height: Typically 5'8" to 5'11" (173 cm to 180 cm).
Build: Slim and toned, but agencies are increasingly open to diverse body types, depending on the market.
Grooming: Clear skin with minimal makeup, preferred for most test shots, highlighting the natural beauty and versatility.
Pricing:
Agency-Signed Models: Free
If your agency has requested a test shoot, I offer these sessions free of charge. I aim to provide the essential images your agency needs to market you effectively, including headshots, full-length shots, and various looks or outfits.
Non-Signed Models: £300
For non-signed models, I offer a professional shoot designed to give you the same quality images that agencies require. This includes versatile shots showing your range and natural look to help you build a stand-out portfolio.
Quick Turnaround Time:
After the shoot, I guarantee a quick image turnaround. Your professionally edited images will be delivered within 48 hours.
Location:
Shoots can take place in Poole, Dorset or London. Please note that London shoots may incur additional costs due to travel and studio rental expenses.
Travel & Studio Expenses:
Poole, Dorset: There are no additional travel or studio costs for local shoots.
London: For shoots in London, additional travel expenses and studio rental fees may apply depending on the location and duration of the shoot.
I will discuss and agree on travel expenses with you when booking.
If a studio is required, depending on the specific location, I will inform you of the cost in advance.
Terms and Conditions
Booking and Payment:
If you’re an agency-signed model, no payment is required. Please verify your signed status (email from your agency or a signed contract).
For non-signed models, a fee of £300 is payable at the time of booking. I accept payment via bank transfer.
If you're a non-signed model, a 50% non-refundable deposit is required to secure your booking, with the remaining balance payable on the day of the shoot.
Additional travel and studio costs may apply for London shoots, and I’ll communicate these during booking.
Rescheduling and Cancellations:
If you need to reschedule your shoot, please let me know at least 48 hours in advance. I’ll happily accommodate a new date at no extra charge.
If you cancel within 48 hours of the shoot, I won’t be able to refund your deposit (for non-signed models).
If you're agency-signed, please inform me at least 48 hours before your shoot if you need to cancel or reschedule.
Deliverables:
You will receive eight professionally edited images within 48 hours after your shoot.
If you need additional images or special editing, I’m happy to discuss that, though additional fees may apply.
Usage Rights:
The images I provide are for personal and portfolio use only. If you or your agency wants to use them for commercial purposes, we’ll need to discuss licensing options.
I reserve the right to use any images from our shoot for promotional purposes, including on my website, social media, and portfolio, unless we agree otherwise in writing.
Shoot Duration:
Each shoot typically lasts 2-4 hours, including setup, shooting, and review time.
On the Day:
Please arrive on time and prepared with any requested wardrobe items and styling.
Hair, Make-Up artists, and stylists are your responsibility. If you need help finding professionals, I’m happy to recommend trusted contacts, but the cost and coordination will be up to you.
