Model Test Shoots
Welcome to our website. We hope you enjoy browsing our photography. If you’re planning a photoshoot or have any questions about our model test shoots, please feel free to get in touch.
Our model test shoots are designed for aspiring models ready to launch their careers, as well as established professionals looking to refresh their portfolios with new images.
How to Get Started as a Model
A strong modelling portfolio is essential at every stage of your career. When you are looking to get signed by an agency, it is your first impression and your visual calling card. Once you are signed, your agency will need fresh, high quality images to promote you to clients and help you secure bookings. Beyond this, your portfolio plays a key role in shaping your personal brand, particularly on social media, where strong visuals matter more than ever.
Build a Strong Portfolio
Your portfolio should include a thoughtful mix of images that highlight your versatility and ability to adapt to different looks, styles, and moods.
Get Comfortable in Front of the Camera
The more experience you gain in front of the camera, the more confident and relaxed you’ll feel. Test shoots allow you to practise, experiment, and build confidence in how you move and pose in the studio.
Find Your Best Angles and Poses
Working with a photographer allows you to discover what works best for you, helping to refine your posing, expressions, and overall look.
What’s Included in Your Session?
Our model test shoots are designed to help you take the next step in your modelling journey. During the session, we’ll create a selection of professional images that showcase your look, versatility, and potential to agencies and brands, while giving you the experience of working with an established photographer.
Model Test Shoot Rates
We offer a range of photography packages designed to help you choose the service that’s right for you.
Our two-hour studio session is our most popular choice, giving you the opportunity to change into multiple outfits during the photo shoot.
We also offer two additional options: a one-hour session and a three-hour session. The one-hour studio session is recommended for new clients or for those who plan only a minimal number of outfit changes.
The three-hour studio session is ideal for anyone who needs extra time due to the number of outfits they wish to model. It’s also a great choice if you require additional headshots in multiple outfits.
