What are some basic images that I should have in my portfolio? I know its suppose to be diverse, I just want to make sure I'm covering all the basics if I start showing agencies.

I'm working with some new photographers soon too, is it good to have a diverse amount of work in that area too?

I really appreciate any help or tips I can get.

Think you're doing great so far, especially in the diversity department.Maybe add some more formal fashion type shots and a cool B&W headshot might be nice.Your pictures have a nice energy about them.Don't be afraid to flash that smile more often either.Best of luck.

You've got several really nice fashion/editorial-style shots in your port. I'd say that you need to get a couple of really killer beauty shots. Start by trying to get some really natural, simple, but solid and professional-looking head shots. Agencies will want to see the bone structure in your face.

i don't know why people seem to think diversity is such a great thing for a model's portfolio. if you look at an agency model's book, there's not going to be a random mix of shots. there might be 15 photos that are all different, but they'll all be strong commercial photos, or strong fashion photos, or strong glamour photos. not a mix of genres.

if you want to know what to show an agency, the first question has got to be, "what agency?" or, at least, what kind of agency. a commercial agency is not going to want to see the same thing as a fashion agency or a talent agency.

if you can see the portfolios of the models they already represent, then it would probably be a good idea to use those as a guideline.
