I have taken on the advice on my last post like lighting improvements and wearing black skinny jeans and a crop top. Do you think I should submit?

Just curious because I am for a few brands

I took the advice of my last post and put my hair back/up this time (thanks to those who left feedback!)

Is this a good order to submit to agencies?
4,5,6,12,13

Would it be weird to mix and match them due to the professional quality of one and not the others?

I really like the bathing suit ones and was frequently told to submit those, but I just think the lighting shows my features more clearly in these digitals I took at home a few days ago. My face was also kind of bloated in the swim ones...

Going to retake them with more form fitting pants but looking for tips on how to improve on what agencies are actually looking for. I've already submitted to some agencies locally but haven't heard anything back. Any constructive feedback will be super helpful or if I'm just not cut out for it and wasting my time.

This might be a bit of a long shot but I'll be visiting the cayman islands next week for a few days (20-24) and thought it would be cool to get a shoot in while I'm there. If anyone is located there or visiting at the same time and interested in shooting let me know!

Open to both male and female

I've included some of my past work as well as an inspiration board for a beach shoot

Digitals seem to be my biggest challenge in modeling. I have played so many characters and modeled a wide variety of looks, but when it comes to digitals, I keep getting feedback that I look tense. I've made sure to get plenty of sleep, avoid caffeine, stretch/massage my jaw muscles, say "prune" and exhale out of my mouth to find a natural position. I've also done invisalign to try & improve my mouth & tongues "posture", but I'm still challenged with this. Has anyone overcame similar things?

I shoot cinematic portraits: light with some drama in it, rich color, and a touch of magical realism. After two decades behind the camera, I’m building out my portrait and boudoir portfolio and looking for a few collaborators in the near future.

You get: [10] retouched images within [2 weeks], a relaxed session, and a say in concept and wardrobe.
I get: portfolio work, shared only with your approval.
Terms: written release, you approve every image, studio/neutral location, friends and partners welcome.

Work: my Model Mayhem profile (full site coming soon).
DM me your IG or portfolio, the look you’re after, and your availability.

Need some advice before submitting to agencies - I am 5”7.5 so I am focusing on commercial modelling. Any tips for improving my digitals?

Hi all! Just took photos to submit to agencies. I wanted some opinions before I did so, as I’ve never submitted and aren’t sure what agencies are looking for.

1. For full body: Should I submit the standing straight bikini or the posed bikini? If it doesn’t specify needing a swimsuit, should I go ahead and submit the swimsuit one anyways or do the bodysuit/jeans full body?

2. Which close up? Hair down or hair up? I don’t love the way my mouth is a little open in the hair down, but the hair up I have a slight smile that I think is also not quite right. I can also retake these, though they might look inconsistent with my other submission photos because I’ll have to take them on a wall with a phone , which I’m not sure if will be an issue. Also, I feel like my hair is messy in the ponytail because I put it up really quickly to take these digis, so it looks a little uneven, and I don't want that to give the wrong impression of not caring.

3. Any other feedback would be helpful!

Lastly, will it work against me that these photos are with a professional camera? I know digis should be professional but have heard for agency submissions that can work against you. I am not wearing makeup and these are raw images but still wondering if anybody has insight.

I posted some polas/ digitals a few months ago and with the feedback I’ve taken some new ones. If there are any scouts/ industry insiders in particular who could guide me on the direction I could take with my current looks and stats. Thanks!

Measurements:
Bust: 34 in
Waist: 27 in
Hips: 35 in
Height: 5’3

So I’m planning on redoing my digitals and I’m just looking for advice on which shoes to use?
I’ve been told stilettos? But any other suggestions? Is barefoot or black socks acceptable?
Between the two in the photos which would be more appropriate? Does it matter?
Leggings or skinny jeans?
Also any specific poses if it matters?

Also if anyone knows any photographers that specialise in digitals/polaroids in the London/Dublin area?

Many thanks

I set up a TFP shoot with a photographer who has 8 years of experience taking digitals and modeling photography... I feel like these digitals are kind of dark / poor lighting .... have I just been looking at them for too long?

I took some partial at-home digitals afterwards when I got home. Should I mix and match with these and my old ones? (included at the end - just not sure since my hair has changed recently)

Finally, which top 4-5 would you recommend to submit to agencies?

A photographer reached out to me to collaborate TFP. I’m newly signed to a mother agency and have been modeling for less than a year so I’m trying to build my book and this photographer will do a shoot in an area that I’m missing (fitness). A lot of photographers reach out for TFP (I feel honored given that I’m fairly new) but given I’ve done some paid test shoots with amazing photographers and have learned a lot, I do screen for quality (quality of photos, do they have experience shooting models, opportunity for me to learn, opportunity to practice movement, etc.) and I think this particular photographer produces quality photos. My main concern is looking at nearly all of his portfolio, he uses flash photography or that’s basically his style and/or aesthetic choice. Is this a type of style that I can actually use in my book to submit to agencies? I know on social media, it’s a thing amongst certain influencers and people like the look but I’m not sure I’ve come across it in modeling portfolios.

Howdy. I started modeling pretty much 5 months ago. Here’s a shoot I did in NY. I had a big hand in the styling. I love to do the same concept that shifts within a more masculine and feminine realm.
I have some other photos I posted the other day, thank you for the responses.
I am really aiming for agency representation. I have not been modeling long but have worked and gained pay for work on my own as a freelancer. Any advice for agency rep? I live in Chicago as of 5 months ago, and am working to get to NYC as soon as possible. Anyways, I’d love to hear intelligent feedback. There’s so many accounts on here just saying shit to say it, so, don’t do that. But yes! Thanks for interacting with my post. Follow me on insta @tjmccloudjr

NYC (Unpaid shoot with digital gallery in return for your time)-

Hi guys! Yes, looking for men!

I'm doing some "Stranger Sessions" and would love men to apply for me!

It's where I pair you up with a stranger (after asking preferences for a partner) and you do a cute almost date-type session together. Mine will all be themed after classic rom coms, love stories, and couples. Think When Harry Met Sally, Romeo & Juliet, The Notebook, and more...

You'll get at least 10 fully edited high resolution images delivered via online gallery and at least 2 solo images.

All you have to do is come with a good attitude and be willing to have fun with someone. No experience necessary but I do need at least a selfie type photo of you. Don't worry- I do work outside fantasy portraits like the examples attached here:)

I started modeling a few months ago. I walked for color coded crime in NY and shot a campaign for Fuggler. Anywho. Enjoy. Pass it on! @tjmccloudjr on insta

Hello everyone,

My name is Keith, I'm a photographer.

I'm looking for some models to work with in Toronto on a tfp/collab basis for portfolio building purposes. I've attached a few of my past shoots (boards labeled "PAST WORK") as well as some mood boards that I've put together.

This is open to both male and female models but I will be putting a slight priority on males as my portfolio is mostly female at this point. If you're interested please reach out on here or via my instagram which is linked on my profile. I'm also open to other ideas outside of the mood boards I posted. My style is a softer film look so keep that in mind if you have any suggestions please.
