What is a portfolio and why do models pay for that?
Your portfolio shows that you are serious about becoming a professional model and making money in the business. You need a portfolio when you go out on look-sees to show prospective clients the type of work you are capable of doing. You cannot use the hand-held MySpace type shots that show you as unprofessional. And, your portfolio needs to showcase your talent in a variety of settings, wardrobe, and poses. To get a professional portfolio completed you will often work with two or more photographers in multiple sessions. And, you will pay the photo-graphers for creating images that will help you get work. (At Lumina, we have the services of some of the best studio and indoor photographers in the Northwest so your portfolio will stand out from the crowd.
