When you are just starting out, you do not need any photos to find an agency. Once you have representation however, you will need anywhere from 4-6 photos to fill a composite card. Luckily for those aspiring models, portfolio books are becoming a thing of the past. It is on a very rare occasion that a client asks me for my book. They just take a composite card and a digital photo. So enough great photos to put on a composite card should be your goal.

Know that a client remembers you from the worst picture in your book or on your card, so leave out any photos that you do not feel good about. Don't use any questionable photos just because you have them. If you are not sure, ask a friend that will be honest with you. Stay open to their criticisms without getting your feelings hurt. Most likely you will agree with them.

  • Having them made is one option but you can also make them on your computer at home if you are just starting out and want to save some money :)

  • so you CAN make comp cards on your own?

    how much would you say that is though? because i've got people charging $3-500 bucks

  • You can make them at home. Or you can get them printed professionally for about $1.00- $1.25 per card. Have you checked out my site at ExploreModeling? You can make an comp online for free :)
