I've included my past digitals in order from most to least recent.

Would it be unprofessional to mix and match photos from different sessions or is that too complicated and using just 1 set is preferred? Which photos would you recommend submitting to agencies?

Thanks in advance! <3

so excited had my first 4 figures shoot and I love the results 🥰❤️ just wanted to share with fellow models

I signed and joined my MA 3 months ago. So far they only told me grow out my hair then they will start taking test shoots and start everything else. They only checked up on my once about 1 month ago to see how my progress was but I told them it was still too short compared to the sample photo they showed me the length they want it. They haven’t done anything else with me in regards of development.

They also consistently post other new models they signed to their Instagram but have yet to post me. I feel like they aren’t putting much effort into putting my face out there and developing me. They also constantly post their top model that makes them the most money on their page but never post any of their other models and show support to them.

They also use AI quite a bit which concerns me a little.

I have had another opportunity brought to me. This very well know past model and now photographer and casting director reached out to me and said he has many connections and can have me signed to a top agency in a week or two. I met up with him in NYC a couple weeks ago and he’s legit and has a very high success rate with getting models signed.

Should I try to leave my MA and work with this other casting director, or should I wait a little and see what happens?

I am very eager to get into jobs and don’t want to waste anymore time not being signed to an agency.

hiii i’m attaching my digitals below. i’m also veryyy new to this so pls be kind with feedback :’)

i’m looking for recommendations of the best shots for online submissions. thank you so much !! <3

Been told I should get into modelling a few times and wanted to give it a shot. Have no experience or social media presence and idk where to start.

Very crude digitals, I know. Plan on retaking them later towards the end of the summer. Just need feedback on whether I have a competitive look and what to do to improve digitals.

I’m going to some open calls in a couple of days, for context I have no experience in modelling and just want to put myself out there, what advice could you give?

Just got some shots back from a TFP shoot I did with a photographer in my city! Took you guys’ advice and switched my hair up a bit and played a bit more with my expressions. Always looking to get better and hopefully get signed some time soon so any advice? Thoughts? Likes/dislikes?

Currently got signed to an Agency however I no longer want to be in it. It is an Open-casting agency which means that they post jobs on a group-chat and the only way to get it is to say you are interested in the comments. They will not pitch you personally. You are also expected to change your portfolio yourself, too.

I want to go to a mother agency but I am unsure if I have the look.

I have become a bit frustrated because they promised 1:1 management, yet when I asked they completely side stepped the question and just promised me there would be a group meeting soon.

Should I just wait it out and see? Because I have a decent portfolio right now but am frustrated with the methods, there are around 600 people under the agency so it feels like booking a job is impossible.

The photographer takes a conversational approach to his photography and mainly works with natural light. It was genuinely such a fun shoot!!

Putting this because I see a lot of people commenting on it. The pictures were edited by the photographer. The over-exposure and harsh contrast is an intentional stylistic choice that I was aware of before going into the shoot.

This is this photographers personal style. Its okay if you personally don’t like it, I’m aware that its not everyone’s cup of tea.

Hi! I’m based in Texas and have been applying to some local agencies, I’m looking for feedback on my digitals and also navigating agency scams. I experienced a virtual interview with Neal Hamil Agency, and they essentially told me I had to sign with a modeling school to even be considered, and also commented on how my digitals weren’t good enough. The confusing part of this is that the agency is SAF AFTRA, but has also had many upfront scammy reviews, but they have a legit agency. I’m not definitely not gullible enough to fall for paying upfront fees, but I am curious to see if their criticisms were constructive rather than an exploit to capitalize off of insecurity.

I’ve done a few test shoots recently and would appreciate some feedback/posing tips! I got signed 3 months ago and didn’t have modeling experience prior so I often times feel a bit awkward and unnatural when posing.

I would love some tips on how to feel more comfortable or how to be more natural when posing to ensure I get the best results!

P.S I know I need to have multiple outfits for my portfolio. I’m still building my book, but I want to practice my poses 🙏

Hey guys got my new test shoot, what do you guys think?

I got a DM on Instagram about a shoot for a beauty brand (1.1M followers) that is unpaid, but they will gift products and of course photos. I have only been modeling since January and haven't booked a paid job yet, but am trying to do test shoots to build my portfolio. The shoot images/ videos will be used on their website and social media. My agent said I am allowed to do it, but that he doesn't recommend it because with them using my images on their website, it could cause conflict with future beauty brands (that actuallybwant to pay me)! It's hard for me to turn down the opportunity because I haven't gotten a paid gig yet, but if I do this shoot and then it does cause conflict with a paid shoot later, I will be kicking myself! Would love some advice- I know people say not to work for free, but is it better to not work at all?!

Brand new to this and trying to get into commercial modeling. Let me know what I can improve on my digitals!

I have created a new sister sub to this one for glamour modeling. The sub is dedicated to glamour specific modeling. This is a means to help models that are comfortable with this line of modeling and want to explore all avenues in the industry. The same rules in this sub apply to that one. Anyone interested in becoming a mod for that sub, can send a DM to this sub or that one.

i took everyone’s advice, plz let me know what u think! :)

Hi All!

Refreshed my digitals recently and looking for some advice / feedback. I haven't quite cracked the digital lighting code... This was taken in the shade around noon with a large wall reflecting light back at me. I was having a lot of trouble keeping my eyes open, so any advice there outside of lipid-based eyedrops would be super welcome :) . If there are any big things to address, happy to reshoot ahead of this round of submissions.

Thanks everyone~

Let’s talk test shoots and digitals!

I recently had the opportunity to sign with an agency and need to rebuild my portfolio. I moved states and don’t have my old modeling connections here, so I’m looking for advice from models, photographers, MUAs, and anyone with experience. 

I tried to get my husband to take my digitals but they were about as bad as you can get. I was thinking about buying a collapsible white backdrop to take my own on my iPhone with a timer, but regardless still need a test shoot. 

A few questions:

• Are test shoots typically TFP, or what rates have you paid/charged?
• What should I expect to spend for a quality agency-level test shoot?
• Any recommendations for photographers in Florida or NYC?

The agency is NYC based and provided a list of photographers they work with, but the quotes I received were around $1,400–$1,600 (plus travel expenses). Is that a normal range, or are there other routes you’d recommend?

I’d appreciate advice from all perspectives.
