Model Digitals

Model digitals—also known as digis or model tests—are clean, natural photographs that showcase your face, body, and presence without heavy styling or filters. These essential images allow agencies and clients to see the real you—your unique features, proportions, and personality. Most modelling agencies require updated digitals every few months or before submitting talent for a specific job. 


Silverfox Management:

“Professional digitals work better than home digitals for clients, and we’ve seen an increase in bookings when talent has professional digitals shot.”

Creative Portfolio Photoshoots for Models

In addition to clean digitals, every model needs a creative portfolio to stand out. These editorial-style images highlight your range, expressiveness, and ability to take on different characters and moods—a crucial part of catching the eye of agencies and clients. Whether you’re an emerging talent or an experienced model looking to refresh your book, I offer concept-driven shoots that emphasise your versatility and help you shine in a competitive industry. From striking beauty close-ups to fashion-forward full-length portraits, I guide you through the entire process—styling, concept development, posing, and expression—to ensure each image tells a powerful visual story. Together, we’ll craft a portfolio that reflects your individuality and professional potential.

Frequently asked questions
