St. Louis Modeling Digitals
By Brandon Andre Partner
Coming soon…
What are modeling digitals?
Model digitals are simple, unretouched photos that show your natural appearance in good lighting with minimal makeup. You'll need them as your industry calling card—agencies and clients use these honest representations to see your true features, proportions, and potential before booking you for jobs.
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.
-
Yes — you can add a 1-on-1 coaching call with Brandon Andre when booking your session. After your shoot, you’ll meet with him over Zoom, where he’ll review your digitals, help identify the agencies that are the best fit for your look, and answer any questions you have about submitting or starting your modeling journey.
-
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.
Why Are Modeling Digitals Crucial for Your Portfolio Success?
Modeling digitals (or "digitals") form the foundation of your modeling career - they're not just photos, they're your professional introduction. When you're trying to impress agencies or clients, these raw, minimal images highlight your natural appearance without the embellishment of dramatic lighting, makeup, or editing. They're designed to illustrate your true proportions, features, and potential, making them fundamentally different from your artistic portfolio shots.
You'll find that investing in professional digitals can dramatically change your booking rate. While it might be tempting to use smartphone self-portraits, agencies immediately recognize amateur attempts. Professional digitals shot in a controlled environment provide the consistency and quality that industry professionals expect. Brandon Andre Photography Partners offer digitals for models throughout St. Louis, guaranteeing you receive industry-standard digitals that effectively represent your look.
Your digitals should follow specific industry conventions to confirm they're useful for casting directors and agents. They're basically your modeling resume in visual form, and like any resume, presentation matters. A professional photographer who understands model digitals can help you create images that:
Highlight your versatility with clear full-body, mid-length, and close-up shots
Capture your features in clean, even lighting that reveals your true coloring and proportions
Present you in simple, form-fitting clothing that demonstrates your physicality without distraction
Deliver images that meet the technical specifications agencies require for their databases and submissions
Why Are Agency-Approved Model Digitals Crucial for Your Modeling Career?
If you're serious about getting signed by top modeling agencies, professional model digitals aren't just important—they're vital. Brandon Andre Photography Partners deliver agency approved digitals that highlight your natural look with professional lighting and authentic poses that agencies demand. These aren't glamour shots or heavily edited portraits; they're the industry-standard photos that give agents an honest representation of your potential.
You'll receive images that emphasize your true features and proportions in the exact format agencies expect. Many aspiring models in St. Louis make the mistake of submitting selfies or over-processed photos that immediately get their applications rejected. With our experience as a working fashion photographers, your digitals will stand out for all the right reasons: clarity, proper lighting, and poses that demonstrate your versatility.
