Here are the following tips to create a great modeling portfolio:

  • Take your body measurements. If you’re a woman, take the measurements of your hips, waist, and chest, as well as your height and weight.
  • Creating composite cards is a powerful marketing tool you can use; they serve as your business card. A composite card usually measures 5 × 7 inches in a single page.
  • Creating a digital portfolio in a flash drive or a DVD is also a good investment, most especially if you’re interested in becoming a television or catwalk model.
