In the competitive world of modeling, staying current is key. Your portfolio is not just a collection of images; it's a crucial marketing tool that showcases your versatility and range. Here at NVE Agency, we understand the dynamics of the industry and offer guidance on keeping your portfolio fresh and engaging:
1. After New Photoshoots
Update your portfolio each time you have new material from a shoot, especially if it showcases a different style or aspect of your abilities. This could mean new fashion looks, beauty shots, or editorial content.
2. Seasonally
Fashion and modeling are seasonal industries. Update your portfolio at least once every season to align with current trends and styles. This shows that you are relevant and adaptable to seasonal changes.
3. When Changing Your Look
If you change your hairstyle, or color, or have any significant changes in your appearance, update your portfolio to reflect this. Clients need an accurate representation of how you look now.
4. After Notable Projects
Adding images from significant or high-profile projects can boost your portfolio's prestige. If you’ve worked with well-known brands or photographers, make sure those images are front and center.
5. Bi-annually Review
Even if not much has changed, it’s good practice to review your portfolio every six months. This review can be a way to assess the quality and impact of your images, removing any that are older or less impactful.
6. Feedback Incorporation
Take feedback from agents, clients, and other models seriously. If a particular type of photo consistently earns praise or secures gigs, consider adding more of that style.
A model's portfolio should be a living document that grows and evolves with your career. Keeping it updated is crucial for reflecting your best, most marketable self at any given time.
