The Investment: A Step Towards Stardom

Investing in a ‘modelling portfolio package’ is an investment in your future. It’s more than just photos; it’s a marketing tool, a brand builder, and a stepping stone to becoming a sought-after name in ‘fashion photography’.

Don’t try to sell your modelling skills with uninspiring portfolio images. Create a set of crisp, colourful and inspiring images that immortalise your uniqueness and demand attention from your followers.

From the raw energy of a runway to the intimate details of a lifestyle shoot, we infuse every frame with creativity, authenticity, and sheer brilliance.

What is Model Portfolio Photography?

A studio portrait in photography refers to a photograph taken in a controlled indoor environment, typically a photography studio.

This setting provides us with the ability to manipulate and control various elements of your photo such as lighting, background, and composition to achieve a desired aesthetic and capture the subject in a specific way.

Key features of our studio portraits include:

  1. Controlled Lighting: Our studio is equipped with professional lighting setups that allow us to have precise control over the direction, intensity, and quality of light. This enables the creation of dramatic effects or soft, even lighting depending on the desired mood.
  2. Backdrop Selection: Our studio offers a variety of backdrops to complement you and to create a specific atmosphere. We have a selection of solid colors and textured backgrounds.
  3. Posing and Composition: The controlled environment of a studio allows for meticulous posing and composition. We can direct you with precision, ensuring the desired angles and expressions are captured.
  4. Consistency: Our studio portraits exhibit a level of consistency in terms of lighting and background, making them suitable for professional use such as corporate headshots, model portfolios, or advertising campaigns where a cohesive look is essential.

What to Wear to Your Model Portfolio Photography Session

Keep it simple and fairly form-fitting to showcase your style.

If you have booked a swimwear photoshoot, wear your favourite swimwear – a bikini or a one-piece. Bring a loose-fitting top and shorts, and a casual fun outfit to dress your swimwear up.

For a studio photoshoot, bring at least three outfits that show off your versatility. A long flowy dress, some brand name athleisure wear and a sundress are good starter outfits.

For males doing a beachwear shoot, I suggest you opt for board shorts and a T-shirt. bring clean white runners and your favourite pair of thongs (ie please don’t bring Crocs!) Males coming to the studio should start with a pair of crisply ironed jeans and a white t-shirt. Also bring a pair of dark coloured slacks, a jacket and perhaps your favourite hat or cap.

Minimal makeup is the key to let your natural beauty shine.

For some shots, tie your long hair in a top knot.
