Modeling digitals are a set of images that capture a model's face, body, and angles with no makeup and subtle posing. Every modeling agency requests model digitals when a person submits to become a model.

Model Development
Lot’s of photographers can take pictures, few can create actual models. My modeling digital sessions are special because when people come to me, they often come with little to no experience and scared, but eager to get started in their modeling careers.
During our sessions I develop you, build you, and train you in front of the camera. My model digital sessions are essentially therapy wrapped in modeling. Come nervous, leave empowered & confident.
How To Take Model Digitals
If you are a female model or a male model, you need digitals. Model digitals might be the single most important thing that gets a model booked in the fashion industry. Why? Because while your images from your portfolio may show you in action, sometimes what clients want to see is the real, authentic you. Natural and with no makeup. The only way to really gauge a models look isn’t by their images from test shoots or campaigns they’ve done, but by how they look in their digitals.
I offer model digitals for models who are in need of an update or who just haven’t gotten them yet. The process is simple. You’ll come to my studio with 1 outfit that is form fitted to your body, we put you by the window light, and we capture different poses and expressions. We shoot a headshot, a full body shot, and waist-up shot. Then depending on your agency, we can get profile angles and other angles, but this is pretty much what you can expect from standard industry digitals.

Building Confidence Through Modeling
In my sessions, I work with newer models teaching them how to move in front of the camera, how to feel confident in their poses, and how to give different facial expressions that adequately showcases their different looks and angles. Whether it’s their first time or they’ve been doing this for a long time, every person who comes to visit me get’s hands on training and leaves with newfound confidence.
How Are Model Digitals Used?
To the left is an example of a male models digitals. After you take your digitals, usually your agency will create a comp card that has all of your measurements including your name and most of the time your social media handle.
When models go to castings they will typically take their portfolio that has these comp cards that they can leave behind for the production team to deliberate over.
A model digital is essentially a models business card. On one side you have the models digitals and then on the other side you have some of their strongest images from their portfolio.
Another benefit for digitals is that clients like to see how models look like right now. Since digitals are so simple and easy to get, it helps to see what a model looks like at the point of interest for a brand. Some models might have a really cool hairstyle in their portfolio, but those photos are a couple of months old and they’ve since changed their hair. That can annoy some clients when they don’t have an accurate depiction of what you currently look like.
Model Digitals Photographer
Are you looking to get signed to a modeling agency? Here’s what’s going to happen: You’ll submit yourself online or go into an open call at an agencies office. If you get signed you will be placed on their development board which is basically where all the new models go and they have a section on their website called “new faces” or “development” for both male and female models.
During this stage your agency will send you out to get what’s called “test shoots” with photographers they have on a list to build your portfolio up. Often times though because these photographers are shooting for free the images you are getting are going to be only what is useful for them, not for you. They aren’t experts at coaching and developing models, so you might spend months in this phase doing “shoots” that may make you feel like you’re “modeling,” but you’re really not actually working or making money.
You need a modeling portfolio and strong digitals as
soon as you get signed so you can start working immediately.
You can save so much time by coming to me first. I develop models 360. We work together to first understand the following:
What kind of model are you? A fashion model or a commercial model? Or can you do both?
What kind of brands would be interested in your look?
Then I have you do homework to research the kind of brands that have models that look like you and save their images for reference.
We then plan to recreate ad campaigns images for your paid test with me that look like they’re from these brands.
During the session, I develop and teach you what modeling is all about. If it’s a fashion brand- how to model for fashion or if it’s a commercial brand- how to model for commercial. I also pull out your strengths, reveal your weaknesses, and affirm your angles and strongest features to lead with going forward.
On top of that during our session we discuss the business side of modeling. Whether it’s an actor or a model, every artist who enters my presence will get a spiel on how to approach their career as a business because so even know to do so and I am interested in changing that to have you achieve the highest possibility for success in this very difficult business.
