Modelling and acting portfolios need to be clean, professional and show the person who is trying to sell themselves. I see a lot of portfolios sent to me for gigs we are shooting and most of them would be tossed aside by a real ad agency.
Note to modelling hopefuls…no one cares whether you can slap a ton of makeup on and shoot a portfolio at a funky location. Casting agents want to see YOU…not a photo contest winning shot.
