WHAT TO WEAR+
For model polaroids, the aim is to showcase your natural look, body proportions, and versatility. Here’s a guide to help you choose the right outfit:
Clothing Simple and Fitted Outfits Wear clothes that fit well and show your natural body shape without being overly tight.
Options: • Plain fitted t-shirt or tank top (neutral colours like black or grey) with skinny jeans or fitted trousers. • Swimwear: simple, well-fitting bikini or briefs in neutral or solid colours. • Plain underwear: neutral colours for minimal, polished shots. • Shoes: neutral heels, clean flats, plain trainers, loafers, or dress shoes.
Remember: avoid busy patterns, logos, or anything distracting.
Hair Wear your hair naturally styled and neat. Avoid elaborate hairstyles or heavy product.
Makeup Keep makeup minimal or natural (or none). Aim for a fresh, clean look. Light foundation is fine to even skin tone.
Accessories Avoid jewellery, watches, or accessories that could distract from your features.
Overall Tips Stick to neutral colours, ensure clothes are wrinkle-free and well-maintained, and focus on confident posture. Polaroids are about showcasing you, not the outfit. Keep it simple and professional.
What Are Model Polaroids and Digitals?
Polaroids, also known as digitals, digis or polas, are simple, unretouched images taken against a plain background. They are a standard requirement for model agency submissions and casting applications because they show your true appearance clearly, without styling, heavy makeup or post-production work.
A good set of digitals covers your face from the front and both profiles, your proportions at full length, and a few natural expressions to give bookers a sense of your personality. This session covers all of those angles in a structured, efficient 20-minute shoot.
Who This Session Is For
This session is suitable for new models preparing their first agency submission, established models who need updated digitals for a new agency or market, models returning to work after a break, and anyone who needs a quick, professional set of natural images for casting or self-promotion.
At just £120, this package is exceptional value for creating a set of professional model polaroids/digitals in London.
Need a little more? With the ‘Double Up’ add-on, you’ll get 12 additional polaroids and 20 extra minutes of shoot time for just £80. An ideal option if you want to include a second outfit or add more variety.

Review by Shandjei “I did a polaroid session with Infinity Focus. The shoot with Maxim was very seamless and professional. There was no stress and an easy feel environment. The photographer is very well aware of industry standards and requirements. The results speak for itself. As a model that has already done many digitals in the past, I highly recommend this service if you are looking to get quality polaroids/digitals done.”
