Basic photos essential to portfolio?
Hi all, I'm new to modeling and I need some advices. What are some basic types of photos that a model's portfolio must have? May 07 14 06:20 am Link Wendy Le wrote: Lots and lots of nudes...

Most say that should be a standing pose, but the two gymnastic poses you have may be adequate.

Showing your range is good, but if you want to do more lifestyle work then you should show more of that for example. I would not bother trying to add fashion type images with your height.

May 07 14 06:53 am Link As already mentioned, a portfolio should include a good headshot without too much make-up, and a full length photo to give a clear idea of your build. Bikini is usually sufficient for the latter unless you do nudes. Beyond that, the photos should give a clear idea of how well the model poses and responds to the camera. Yours does that pretty well. Be wary of photos that are too "professional" because they can be counterproductive in that an experienced photographer will be aware of how much they can distort and conceal and may discount a new model accordingly.
