Stay Booked with Fresh Digitals

In the modeling world, your digitals are your first audition. These simple, unedited snapshots—often called "polaroids"—give agencies and clients a raw, authentic look at your true appearance. Minimal makeup, no filters, no distractions—just you.

Keeping your digitals fresh and up to date is essential for maintaining a successful modeling career. Whether you're repping for commercial, fashion, fitness, or lifestyle gigs, agents need to see the real you before they can pitch you for opportunities.

So, how often should you update them? Ideally, every six months or whenever your look changes—think new hairstyle, color, length, or body transformation. Staying current makes sure you’re always ready for new castings, campaigns, and clients.

✔ Accurate Representation

Clients book based on what they see. Your digitals help them determine if your look fits their brand, style, and aesthetic. If your images don’t match your current appearance, you risk losing potential jobs.

✔ Faster Casting Decisions

Agencies receive hundreds of submissions daily. If your digitals are clear, professional, and current, they can quickly match you with the right roles—giving you a higher chance of getting booked.

✔ Professionalism & Trust

Regularly updating your portfolio shows you take your career seriously. It tells your agency and clients that you are reliable, ready to work, and invested in presenting yourself at your best.

👉 Lighting is Key – Natural light or soft, even lighting works best. Avoid harsh shadows or filters.

👉 Plain Backgrounds Only – Keep it simple and distraction-free so casting can focus on you.

👉 Minimal Makeup & Natural Hair – Skip the heavy glam. Fresh skin and natural hair give the best impression.

👉 Wear Fitted, Neutral Clothing – Solid black, white, or gray tanks with jeans or leggings work best. No patterns, logos, or distracting accessories.

👉 Pose Variety – Include:

✔ Full-body (front, profile, back)

✔ Headshots (smiling & serious)

✔ Mid-length (waist-up, three-quarter)
