Package Details
Are you ready to make your mark in the modelling world? The Essentials Model Portfolio Photoshoot is a professional yet affordable way to start or expand your journey into the industry. Tailored for aspiring models, this package combines strikingly edited images, versatile Polaroids, and an introduction video to help you stand out.
Please note: As one of the shorter packages, it is ideal for individuals confident in front of the camera. For those needing more time to explore poses or build comfort, longer packages may be a better fit.
What’s Included in the Package?
1-Hour 30-Minute Photoshoot
Breakdown:
60 minutes for portfolio shots.

15 minutes for the introduction video.
Timings are approximate; if extra time is needed for polaroids or videos, this may reduce time for the portfolio shots.

Three Professionally Edited Images
Choose three favourite images from a curated online gallery:

Alternatively, the session can solely focus on one of the above. For example, if you only require model headshots, we can dedicate the session entirely to capturing these.

What to expect
Before your shoot
Once you’ve paid either the deposit or the full amount, you will receive an email confirming the date/time of your booking, plus details of where to come and tips for preparing for the shoot.
If you are unsure of what clothing to bring, bring as many options as possible and we can decide on which to use during the shoot.
If you have an agent, please discuss with them beforehand if they have any specific requirements for your portfolio, such as clothing choices, background colours etc. I am also happy to discuss this with them directly if you would like to pass on my contact details.
During your shoot
The studio equipment will be set up prior to your arrival with a lighting setup for use during the shoot. After a quick briefing and some test shots to check lighting position and settings, we’ll work through a range of shots to capture your unique character. The images are displayed on a monitor throughout the shoot so you can be sure you’re happy with the range and style of the images we capture. Usually in this session there is time for 2-4 clothing changes and 2-3 background options. If you have any background colour preferences, please feel free to get in touch before the shoot.
After your shoot
I endeavour to have your proof images uploaded to a private online gallery within 24 hours of the shoot. This usually contains around 60+ images. From there, you’ll be able to enter the images numbers of the three you’d like edited and the 12 unedited Polaroids file numbers.
Once you have chosen the three images you would like edited, they will be completed and uploaded Dropbox within 7-10 business days (Monday-Friday).
If you have an agent, share the gallery with them for advice on which images to choose.

Unedited images are not supplied. For more information please see FAQ.
ADD-ONS
One Extra: Add an additional edited image to your package at the time of booking, for just £15.
Additional retouched images purchased after the shoot are £25 each.
Beauty Surcharge: £50 per edit
Beauty images often require more detailed skin editing, which can take 1–2 hours longer than the included Standard Retouch. You don’t need to purchase this add-on before your photoshoot, but keep this in mind if you’d like a beauty edit.
Help me pick: £30 in addition to full package price.
Sometimes it can be hard to be objective when looking at pictures of yourself and therefor, if you would like help whittling down the images in the contact sheets, choose this add-on. I’ll then spend one to two hours looking though the proof images to recommend 10-20 shots in which look your best and/or show off your character range. From there you can make the final selection for editing.
48 hour express editing: £50 in addition to full package price.
With express editing, once you have let me know your choices, your images will be edited and returned to you within 48 hours, rather than the standard 3-5 working days for this package. This only includes the number of edited images the package includes. Additional edited images may take longer.
Extended Image Storage: £15 in addition to full package price.
All images from your photoshoot are stored for 6 months. If you would like to extend this to 12 months, select ‘Extended Image Storage’ when booking.
For more information on storage, see section 7 of the Terms & Conditions here.
Weekend surcharge: £100 in addition to full package price.
If you would like a weekend session, please contact me to arrange booking.
Evening surcharge: £50 in addition to full package price.
Travel to your location: £300 in addition to full package price (London Zones 1-4).
For locations outside of London Zones 1-4, please request a quote.
Please note that a shoot outside of my studio, the photos may vary based in the size of the room, ambient light etc.
