A current picture of you.

Model digitals, also called polaroids, are simple photographs that show your current face, proportions and appearance. They give an agency a clear starting point for a submission or an update to your representation.

Do I need a photographer?

No. Clear photographs taken at home can be enough for a first application. Follow each agency’s current submission instructions. If you would like help with light, direction and choosing a set, I can guide you through it.

The session.

  1. Prepare. Tell me where you plan to apply and any requirements or deadline. I consult with you on wardrobe before the shoot.
  2. Photograph. Allow approximately 25 minutes on set. I direct you throughout, using natural light and shooting to my laptop so we can review and adjust together.
  3. Receive your photographs. I remove unsuccessful frames and deliver the good photographs through a Dropbox link within 1 business day, at a resolution suitable for email or agency uploads. My top 6–12 are highlighted as a starting selection.

Agencies ask for different views and selections. I photograph a range to cover common submission needs; follow each agency’s instructions when choosing what to send.

Before you book.

What should I bring?

Bring well-fitting basics in black, white or neutral colours: a plain T-shirt or singlet with jeans, trousers or a skirt. One outfit change is useful. I prefer to photograph barefoot to show your natural stance and proportions.

Swimwear is not required for an initial-submission session with me. Optional variations are discussed beforehand. Keep hair and makeup natural; you do not need a makeup artist. We will discuss preparation before the shoot, and you can read my guide to preparing for digitals.

Are digitals the same as a portfolio shoot?

Digitals use simple, even light to show your current appearance clearly. A portfolio session gives us room to explore different lighting, styling, movement and expression. If you need both, digitals can be added to a portfolio shoot for $120.

Can a parent enquire for an under-18 model?

Yes. Include a parent or guardian contact so they can be involved in communication and booking. We will confirm the arrangements for the session before you book.

Brisbane.

Digitals sessions are currently available in Brisbane. I am based in Teneriffe and photograph unsigned and represented models. Send your preferred dates and I will confirm the location and availability.
