Having your portrait taken is one of the most important things that you will do to promote yourself if you are a model or actor. Your portrait is the first thing that a potential client will see – your First Impression!

HOw TO PREPARE FOR YOUR Portrait

1. 1.Get a nice haircut
   
   

2. 2.Get rest the night before to look fresh
   
   

3. 3.Prepare your outfits. You need clothes you feel confident in. Typically a model comp card will want a business look, a high-fashion look, a casual look and a sexy look. Tip: don't wear dark dark colors as they will look heavy. Unpatterned grays, earth tones and colors that work with your complexion and eyes make for the best clothes to wear.

1. 1.What should I wear?
   
   • For Business Executive Portraits: one or two suits at most. Executive portraits may want both a suit-and-tie and a “business casual”.
   
   • For Headshots: bring up to 4 outfits (usually a model will want: business, high fashion, casual, and sexy). Your clothes are not the focus, you are. So don’t wear loud or busy patterns or black.
