ELEVATE YOUR MODELING or ACTING CAREER with OUR
PORTFOLIO BUILDER PACKAGE
Overcoming the Challenges of the Industry
The modeling and acting industries can be highly competitive, and many aspiring talents face emotional hurdles in their journey. The fear of not landing jobs or being overlooked can be daunting, leading to self-doubt and frustration.
Have You Ever Experienced Any of These Feelings?
-
Invisibility: Feeling like your talent is not being recognized or that your current portfolio isn’t making the right impression can be discouraging.
-
Lack of Confidence: A subpar portfolio can lead to a lack of confidence in auditions and castings, making it even harder to succeed.
-
Uncertainty: Not knowing how to present yourself or what looks will resonate with casting directors can create anxiety and hesitation.
-
Desire for Growth: Aspiring models and actors often yearn for opportunities to showcase their versatility and unique style but feel stuck without the right images.
At David Arnold Photo + Film, we understand these challenges. Our Portfolio Builder is designed to empower you, providing professional guidance to help you identify gaps in your existing portfolio and create a plan that aligns with your goals.
Let us help you turn your dreams into reality. Together, we’ll develop a tailored portfolio strategy that not only showcases your talent but also boosts your confidence and prepares you for the next steps in your career.
What is a Portfolio Builder?
The Portfolio Builder is a comprehensive service designed to elevate your modeling or acting career through more than just a photo session. While industry terms like "test shoots" or "model digitals" are commonly used in modeling to refer to basic photo sessions aimed at capturing your look for agency submissions, our Portfolio Builder goes beyond that.
In the acting world, you might encounter “headshot sessions,” which focus on producing a single, standout image for auditions. However, the Portfolio Builder encompasses a more holistic approach.
The Portfolio Builder is aimed at enhancing your modeling or acting career. It consists of these key components:
-
FREE Portfolio Consultation: This initial session allows us to assess your goals, review your existing portfolio, and identify gaps and opportunities for growth.
-
Portfolio Photoshoot: Following the consultation, we’ll schedule a personalized photoshoot to create stunning images that showcase your versatility and unique talent.
-
Virtual Photo Review Session: In this online session, we will carefully review the images captured during your photoshoot. You’ll receive constructive feedback and insights on each image,
-
High Quality Digital Images: After your photoshoot, you will receive professionally edited, high-resolution digital images. These images are perfect for auditions, online submissions, and personal branding, ensuring that you make a lasting impression in a competitive industry.
-
Digital Composition Card: We will also create a digital comp card for you, featuring your best images along with essential information like your measurements, contact details, and skills. This digital card will serve as a convenient marketing tool that you can easily share with casting directors and agencies.
-
Portfolio Review Session: After the photoshoot, we’ll conduct a feedback session to review the images and discuss how they align with your career goals, ensuring you have a standout portfolio.
