What are tear sheets?
Tear sheets are pages from a magazine, containing ads models have appeared in. The magazine cover is the most sought after tear sheet. They are important because they demonstrate your marketability to future clients. The more tear sheets you have, the more money you can make on future catalog and advertising jobs. Since aspiring models don’t have tear sheets, “testings” (test shots with fashion photographers) are used instead to promote you to international agencies and other clients.
