Model and acting photographs can be very expensive and you should be very careful when making your decision as to whether you pay for images or try and get started with what you have. This being said, you must bare in mind that in reality, if you are new to the industry, having simple snap shots may limit the type and volume of work agencies are able to submit you for.
We generally say, if you have what it takes to make it in the industry, you should not have to pay vast sums of money to have professional model portfolios produced, clients will be able to get a general idea of your look and suitability from clear simple model head shots. There are many companies out there desperate to offer you a free shoot, then charging you hundreds of pounds to purchase the images.

For commercial modeling and acting, a good selection of shots for the portfolio to start with would be:
A couple of good head shots, with simple, natural make up,
A full length shot, showing your posture and style
A casual relaxed shot

By no means can you gain full comprehensive portfolio from one shoot,  professional  portfolios grow over time and should consist of a variety of work shot in different environments at different times with different looks. However, this will provide you with a good set of printed images and will mean you can be marketed equally alongside professional, commercial artists and will give you some experience and materiel in which to attend commercial castings.

We offer an initial photo shoot (£250 includes photographers fee + post production)
Hair & make up artist additional cost of: £35 (we fully recommend that you have professional hair & make up)

Images will be shot against a white or black background.
You will get a selection of images which will include:
    •    full length
    •    head & shoulders
    •    3/4 length shot
    •    seated shot

Bring several changes of outfit for the photoshoot (we can advise if required).
You will then be able to view & select your images provided .
We will make a personal web page of images for you (this is for a period of one month although this can be extended if you wish).
We supply a cd rom of all your images that are sized ready to be printed for your portfolio.
All of this is included in the fee with no additional costs to you.
If required we can also do your portfolio printing for you.
