Houston Modeling Digitals
By Brandon Andre Partner
Coming soon…
What are modeling digitals?
Model digitals are simple, natural photos that agencies require to evaluate your potential. They're unretouched images showing your natural appearance in good lighting with minimal makeup. You'll need these as your industry calling card and agencies use them to determine if you fit their roster requirements before even meeting you in person.
Modeling digitals are one of the most important tools for getting signed by a modeling agency. Whether you're submitting to a top agency or a local one, they all require clean, natural images that show your face, physique, and presence — no heavy makeup, no distractions, just great lighting and simple outfits.
While it's possible to take them on a phone, most models see better results working with a professional photographer who can guide them into the exact poses agencies want to see.

Modeling Digital FAQs
-
You’ll be working with a trusted By Brandon Andre Partner — a professional photographer who has been hand-selected and trained to shoot digitals in Brandon’s signature style. Every partner follows the same lighting, posing, and quality standards to ensure your digitals match what top agencies expect. After booking, you’ll receive a confirmation email with all the details of your session, including your photographer’s contact info, so you can connect with them in advance if needed.
-
The experience and process are the same — the only difference is location and price. Brandon’s partners offer the same trusted system at a more accessible rate in cities where Brandon isn’t currently shooting. You’ll still receive the same standards, editing workflow, and guidance from Brandon’s team behind the scenes.
-
No — modeling digitals are meant to be raw and natural, exactly how agencies request them. However, you can add the “Digital Selects” option for $15 when booking. With that upgrade, Brandon will personally select the strongest images from your session and lightly enhance them (removing discoloration) for a more polished, agency-ready presentation. If you don’t choose this add-on, you’ll receive all raw, unedited images straight from the camera.
-
If you have a few temporary blemishes, it’s fine — you can wear light concealer if needed. But if you’re experiencing a major breakout, it’s best to reschedule so you can show your skin at its best. Please note: there are no refunds once your session is booked, but you may reschedule once, as long as it’s at least 24 hours in advance.
-
You’re allowed one reschedule as long as you provide at least 24 hours’ notice. Sessions canceled or rescheduled with less than 24 hours' notice may be subject to a rebooking fee. Full details are shared in your confirmation email.
-
Raw images are typically delivered within 48–72 hours after your session. If you add Digital Selects, those will follow shortly after Brandon completes the review and enhancement process.
-
Yes. Brandon has worked closely with every major modeling agency in the world, and his digitals system is trusted across the industry. Every session — whether shot by Brandon or one of his partners — is designed to meet the exact standards agencies look for.

-
You'll need to update your digitals whenever there's a significant change in your appearance – haircuts, color changes, weight fluctuations, or approximately every 6-12 months. If you're actively pursuing modeling work in San Francisco, having current digitals is vital as agencies need to present clients with accurate representations of how you look right now.
-
While you could attempt self-taken digitals, agencies can immediately spot amateur photos. You'll make a stronger impression with professionally captured digitals that emphasize your features correctly. With 13+ years of fashion photography experience, we recognize exactly what agencies are looking for in the San Francisco market.
Portfolio Development Fundamentals: Modeling Digitals
Building your modeling portfolio starts with exceptional digitals. You'll need clean, well-lit images that honestly display your features, proportions, and potential. These aren't glamour shots; they're your professional baseline. Top agencies require specific angles: front-facing, profiles, full-body, and close-ups—all captured with technical precision that only comes from photographers who understand the industry's exacting standards.
Your digitals tell a story beyond your appearance; they demonstrate your professionalism and readiness for the market. When you're working with a photographer trusted by leading agencies, you're not just getting pictures—you're getting industry-compliant materials that open doors.
The subtle differences between amateur and professional digitals are immediately apparent to trained eyes: proper lighting that reveals true skin tone, framing that accurately displays your proportions, and technical quality that won't make agents question your investment in your career.
The Houston modeling scene demands digitals that can compete nationally and internationally. You'll find that updating your portfolio seasonally keeps your look current and demonstrates your consistency—a trait agencies value greatly. Many models make the costly mistake of using outdated or inconsistent digitals, undermining their professional image. Professional model digitals aren't an expense; they're the foundational investment in your modeling career that yields measurable returns through more castings, better agency representation, and ultimately, booking the jobs that transform promising talents into working professionals.
Why Do Professional Modeling Digitals Make All the Difference in Getting Signed?

When agencies review hundreds of submissions daily, professionally shot digitals by someone who understands what agencies actually want can instantly separate you from the crowd. Brandon Andre Partners deliver agency-approved digitals that highlight your natural features with the proper lighting and angles that Houston's top agencies expect to see.
You've invested time in perfecting your look and preparing for your modeling career—don't let amateur photos hold you back. Your digitals need to represent your true appearance without heavy editing or awkward poses that distract from your potential. As a working fashion photographers, Brandon Andre partners know exactly how to capture your authentic look with natural poses and professional lighting techniques that emphasize your unique features in ways that catch an agent's attention.
