What do I Need to Start a Modeling Career?

In order to start booking jobs as a model, you need good, solid photos of a variety of looks. The photos should show that you work well with the camera and look good doing it!

Beginning models, male and female, should have a model portfolio. This book is similar to a large photo album or folder. Your portfolio contains prints of your best professional photos and tear sheets (published images) that show potential clients your best features and talent. The photos are typically 9" x 12" and can slide in and out of the pages so that you can continually update it.
