Hi everyone Im looking to make my own comp cards and I'm a bit stuck about what photos to include. Portfolio images or polaroid images? Thanks in advance!

Apr 09 14 07:46 am Link You use professional images on a comp card not polaroid's. Comp cards go to clients so they want to see the best of you. Make sure you don't use overly photo shopped images on your comp card though the person should look like you. My son is a commercial print model and this is what his Comp card looks like the photos were selected by his agent. Front & Back   The images use on your card will be dependent on if you are a commercial model or a fashion model. I went onto your profile and you are 5'3 I would go for more lifestyle type of images on your comp-card.

So no, no polaroid images, cause even though they show what you look like, they don't show much of your ability to model. But no crazy over the top poses and make up either. chose images that also reflect what you do as a model: the compcard of a commercial model will look very different than that of an alternative model or a fashionmodel. don't forget to add your measurements and contact info Apr 09 14 11:54 pm Link |
