James is incredibly professional. He was prompt to respond to my query and arrange an appointment. He is an incredibly gifted photographer and helped me get a great shot and it was exactly what I was was looking for. I had tried a few photographERs previously and James was a real breath of fresh air. Highly recommend.

Model Portfolio Shoots FAQ

Model Portfolio Shoots FAQ

Where is your studio?

Our studio is located in Raunds, Northamptonshire- we’re a few minutes down the road from Rushden Lakes Shopping Centre. The studio is at the Enterprise Centre and when you drive in, we’re on the right hand side at unit number 80. There’s plenty of parking. 

How much do modelling portfolio shoots cost?

Our model portfolio packages start from just £150 and full details of our packages and what’s included can be found here. Our model portfolio shoot packages include four, six or twelve images. Some of the included images are ‘digitals’ which are natural, unedited photos that showcase a model’s natural look. Additional retouched images are charged at £20/image should you require them.

I'm new to this and a little nervous

This is completely normal, so please don’t worry. Our photographers are hugely experienced and the vast majority of people that we photograph are a little nervous on arrival! We’re experts in getting you to feel relaxed, comfortable and confident during your session.

What should I bring to wear to my model portfolio shoot?

Variety is crucial for a successful model portfolio, so we always advise bringing plenty of clothing options – think more than you’ll likely need! Don’t worry about managing it all; we have a large clothing rail and a private changing area upstairs in our studio specifically for your use, making it easy to organise and switch between outfits.

Having a good selection allows us to collaborate during the shoot to create diverse looks that showcase your range and suitability for different types of modelling work that agencies look for. We recommend including:

  • Well-fitting Basics: Think simple, classic items like plain t-shirts or vest tops (neutral colours like white, black, grey are great staples), well-fitting jeans or trousers, and perhaps a simple jumper or cardigan. These help show your natural form.
  • Different Styles: Include items that represent various potential looks. This could be anything from casual knitwear or sporty attire to a smart jacket/blazer or a more formal option, depending on the type of modelling you’re interested in.
  • Colour & Fit: Bring a mix of colours that you know suit you. Solid colours often photograph best, but feel free to bring some subtle patterns or textures too. Most importantly, ensure everything fits you well and is clean and ironed – good fit and condition make a huge difference on camera!

Ultimately, bring clothes you feel comfortable and confident wearing, as that will show in the photos. We can discuss specific ideas further when you book your session!

Do you have a variety of backdrops?

Yes! We have a wide range of backdrops that work for different skin tones/hair colours and outfits. Our backdrops include high quality paper rolls and we have a selection of beautiful hand painted canvas backdrops that we produce in-house. Before your session, you and your photographer will pick out what backdrops are going to work best for your particular session and you will be photographed against a few different types of backdrop. 

When will I get my images?

On the same day of your shoot, you will recieve a contact sheet with all of your images. From here you can select your favourite images for retouch and order any additional retouches. At this stage, you can also make specific requests for your retoucher. After we’ve received your selects, please allow two working days until you receive your finished images. 

I want to purchase a model portfolio shoot as a gift for someone- do you do vouchers?

Yes we do! Please contact us to request a gift voucher.
