Test Shoots Matter More Than Ever
If you’re building a modeling career — whether you’re already signed or working independently — the images you create now shape the opportunities you get next. Test shoots give you fresh, relevant visuals that help agents, casting directors, brands, and producers immediately understand your look, your range, and your potential.
My job is simple.
I help models create intentional, agency-friendly test shoot images that strengthen your book and help you book more work.
From lifestyle/commercial to fashion/editorial, models work with me when they need reliable, versatile photographs that elevate their existing portfolio or help them build a brand-new one from the ground up.
If You’re a New Model
Stepping into this world for the first time? Perfect.
Your test shoot becomes part coaching, part confidence-building, and part portfolio development.
We’ll focus on:
Movement & form — learning how to shape your body for camera-friendly lines
Relaxing into the session — creating a comfortable, supportive space where you can breathe and be yourself
Learning direction — how to take cues, adjust angles, and respond naturally
Collaborating on set — understanding how to work with a photographer, stylist, or creative director so you walk in ready for real jobs
This is where you discover what you’re capable of — and where your portfolio starts to look like it belongs in an agency submission.
If You’re Already Signed or Working Independently
Every model needs fresh work.
Agencies want updated images that show your current look. Brands look for range. Casting directors want to see personality and versatility. Social media requires consistent, high-quality content.
Our test shoot gives you:
Current, clean images for sending out to agencies and clients
Targeted looks based on your market (commercial, fashion, lifestyle, actor crossover)
A faster, more confident on-set experience
A gallery of usable material for your portfolio, website, and social feeds
Think of this as sharpening your craft while refreshing the visuals the industry sees first.
What does a test shoot look like?
My test shoots are built to give you agency-ready images that feel natural, expressive, and true to who you are. Sessions typically run 2–3 hours and include three to four looks, depending on what you want to achieve.
During your shoot, we’ll create a balanced mix of clean commercial frames, emotional lifestyle moments, and elevated editorial storytelling — giving you a curated collection of strong, versatile images for your portfolio, castings, and social presence.
Most sessions yield 20–50 usable images, depending on pacing, wardrobe, and how many concepts we explore. And if you need updated digitals, they’re easy to add to any session.
