Best Tips for Building a Modeling Portfolio – What Should I Include?

Bengaluru, India

Hey everyone,
I’m a model just starting to build my professional portfolio, and I’d love some advice from experienced models or photographers. What kind of photos should I include to make it versatile? Should I go for a mix of headshots, full-body, lifestyle, and editorial shots? Also, any tips on how to approach photographers for TFP (Time for Print) collaborations?
Would love to hear your insights on how you built your portfolios and landed your first few gigs!
Thanks in advance!

Hey there! I’ve been a fashion photographer for about 5 years, and I’ve worked with a lot of models on portfolio shoots. When it comes to building a portfolio, variety is key! You want to showcase your versatility as a model, so I’d recommend including: Headshots: Simple and clean to highlight your natural features. Full-body shots: These are essential for agencies and clients to see your proportions. Lifestyle photos: Show you in everyday scenarios—this makes your portfolio relatable. Editorial/high-fashion looks: If you’re aiming for fashion work, a few high-concept, creative shots can make you stand out. As for TFP collaborations, my advice is to be proactive! Reach out to photographers on platforms like Instagram, Collabzap, or even in local Facebook groups. When you do, make sure to have a strong mood board or concept in mind—it shows that you’re serious and organized, which photographers appreciate. Also, don’t be afraid to network at events or even ask for referrals from other models or makeup artists you’ve worked with. TFP is a great way to get started, but make sure the collaboration will benefit both parties and improve your portfolio. Good luck building your portfolio! Looking forward to seeing your work. #ModelingAdvice #TFPCollaborations #PhotographyTips #BuildYourPortfolio
