Clients used to rely solely on composite cards and model’s portfolios; however on-line portfolios are increasingly replacing this. This web presence allows clients to preview the models and actors they wish to hire and see up to date photos and biographical information.

The Agency will decide which divisions you will be placed in and then help you develop your marketing tools. For most modeling work you will need photos in a portfolio that show a variety of looks and a composite card. For acting and on camera TV work, you will need an 8 x 10 commercial headshot and resume. In both cases an on-line presence can be very beneficial and clients increasingly rely on finding models and actors using on-line portfolios (your Agency can show you how to obtain this)

Clients used to rely solely on composite cards and model’s portfolios; however on-line portfolios are increasingly replacing this. This web presence allows clients to preview the models and actors they wish to hire and see up to date photos and biographical information. In many cases the cost of an on-line portfolio is about the same as printing composite cards. And the advantage is that when the model's or talent's look changes, no expensive re-printing is needed. You may get more opportunities having online exposure.
