When you’re just starting out as a professional model, you won’t be sure which kinds of gigs you’ll be most successful in landing. Models that have been working for a while may start to be pigeonholed in a particular style they are very well suited for, but when you’re a beginner, you might as well explore different styles. Make sure your modeling portfolio includes some variety to show your range of capacity as a model and increase your chances of booking gigs.

When booking a photoshoot to get more shots for your portfolio, take your time to choose a photographer whose style is aligned with the kind of work you hope to be booking. This is your chance to fill your portfolio with professional images that show just how great of a model you are, so it’s best not to just go for the cheapest or most convenient choice.
