INFO
MODEL PORTFOLIO SHOOT
A model portfolio shoot is a great way to showcase your versatility and talent as an (aspiring) model to (potential) clients.
It is essential as an (aspiring) model to have your strong book with images that represent your current look and have the industries you are aiming at in mind.
COMMERCIAL, BEAUTY, HIGH FASHION,..?
There are many types of modeling and it is important that you know what direction you want to go with your career, for example doing a commercial beauty shoot when you want to work in fashion won’t benefit your portfolio.
- New models: If you don’t know what direction you want to go yet, we can do a mix of the fields you are interested in.
If you just signed with an agency I recommend asking them in what direction they see you.
- Freelance models: If you are a freelance model I recommend analyzing your current clients base,
If you are happy with your current client base (for example you are mostly booked for beauty) I recommend shooting more in that genre for your portfolio. If you want to attract different clients, I would analyze the shoots they produce and base your portfolio on this.
- Agency signed models: If you are signed with an agency, I recommend you asking them what your current needs are for your portfolio.
- Agencies booking for their models: By booking the 'model portfolio' package, please mention what your model needs for her/his/their book.
MOODBOARD
A moodboard is essential to have everyone on the same page and get the desired result.
It is not a must but I highly recommend you to make a moodboard before the shoot,
so you have an organized view on the direction you want to go with photography, poses, hair, styling, make-up,..
Your moodboard should be based on the type of modeling you are in/want to break into (commercial, beauty, high fashion,..)
If you need help with creating a moodboard you can always contact me for some guidance.
You can easily make a moodboard by making a folder on Pinterest or Instagram, you can use Canva or you can simply just send me screenshots of images you like.
RETOUCH
Polaroids will not be retouched.
The portfolio images will be slightly retouched and color graded.
If you you have any request, let me know before.
DISCLAIMER: I DO NOT RETOUCH ANYONE UNDER 16.
SELECTION AND FINAL IMAGES
You can make the selection yourself or you can let me or your agency make the final selection.
You can NOT change your final selection after I received your selection, so make sure you double check your selection.
It is possible to buy extra images.
Images will be ready in 10 workdays after the selection is made and the invoice is paid and will be sent through WeTransfer.*
* make sure to save the images properly, they can’t be asked again
FAQ
Who will do the make-up if I book a package that includes hair and make-up?
Jessica Nzeyimana Van Geersom * (she/her)
- Instagram: @jessicavgn
- website: https://express.adobe.com/page/oXd0jE4B1LfoJ/
Jessica is a professional makeup and hair artist with a lot of experience and incredibly much talent, she has an amazing energy and will make you look your absolute best.
* If Jessica is not available, I have a list of other muah’s from you to choose from.
What if I want to do my own hair and make-up?
If you want to do your hair, make up yourself,
I can recommend you the following:
- HAIR: keep it simple and natural and make sure the shape of your head is still visible and that your hair is not blocking your face.
It's best if you don't straighten your hair or wear wigs, braids and other protective hairstyles are not a problem.
- MAKE UP: Less is more, keep it as minimal as possible, the make up doesn't take attention away from your face. For portfolio work clients, agencies and photographers like to see you at your most natural state. I highly recommend NOT wear fake lashes and thick layers of foundation.
- NAILS: Your hands should be clean and taken care of, this goes for your nails as well, make sure they are clean, natural and not polished in bright bold colors.
What is the difference between shooting in Tulp 61 Studio or the at home studio?
The at home studio is a great option if you are working with a smaller budget, a lot of my model portfolio shoots are shot in my home studio. The negative side of this is that we are working in a limited space with minimal amount of natural light and no furniture to use in the shoot.
Tulp 61 Studio has a lot of space, a great amount of natural light and plenty of chairs and other props for you to include in your shoot.
If you have the budget to invest in your portfolio, I would definitely recommend shooting in Tulp 61 Studio.
What should I wear?
- STYLING FOR PORTFOLIO IMAGES: The styling depends on what you need for your portfolio, but overall I recommend to stay away from baggy clothes, so the shape of your body is properly visible and stay away from big brand logos on your clothes.
- STYLING FOR POLAROIDS: For polaroids you should wear fitting clothes that show your body shape and heels.
Your clothes should have neutral colours (I suggest black) and no distracting logos or graphics.
Some agencies require bikini polaroids, for this you can bring your swimwear/lingerie. (only if you are not a minor)
For personal advice on what outfits you should bring, contact me.

PORTFOLIO SHOOT / EXAMPLE
This is Atta, a wonderful model and human being and she needed a portfolio update.
We started with taking her polaroids with a simple form fitting outfit and no make-up.
After the polaroids, we started with the portfolio images, she mostly needed fashion images, that showed of her strong poses and facial expressions.
But also some beauty images, and some more commercial sport images.
