Model Feedback
“While working with David to build my portfolio, he has not only met my expectations but far exceeded them.
My initial goal was simply to create a strong modelling portfolio that would open the right doors. From the very beginning, however, David was determined to think beyond the conventional, crafting a collection of striking images that highlight my individuality rather than merely my potential. He offered constructive feedback and valuable guidance, choosing to teach rather than simply direct.
I am deeply grateful to David for investing in me and recognising my potential”.

Industry-standard imagery for agency submissions and portfolio development
Many photographers can take a good picture; fewer understand what actually works in a model’s book. These sessions are designed with that in mind — simple, striking, and industry-ready.
For new or developing models ready to elevate their portfolio with clean, professional imagery that agencies value, each shoot is built around authenticity, range, and confidence. Whether you’re applying to an agency, refreshing your book, or preparing for test shoots, every image is shaped to meet real agency standards — natural, expressive, and readable.
PACKAGES AND PRICING:
MODEL TEST SHOOTS / PORTFOLIO DEVELOPMENT
£200
★★★★★
Targeted. Industry-aware. Purpose-led.
Model test shoots are not required for every model and are offered selectively.
These sessions are designed for models who need specific, usable images to support agency submissions, portfolio development, or client castings — not creative concepts or editorial experimentation.
What’s Included:
Stage 1: Pre-Shoot Alignment (Light Consultation)
This is not a moodboard or styling consultation. Instead, we briefly establish:
Your current stage (pre-agency, newly signed, developing)
Intended market or direction (fashion, commercial, lifestyle, character)
What your book currently lacks or needs strengthening
This ensures the shoot has a clear developmental purpose, rather than producing generic or speculative images.
Stage 2: The Shoot
•1-hour studio or controlled on-location session
•Clean, industry-appropriate lighting designed to show structure and proportion
•Simple, intentional wardrobe choices (guided in advance)
•Up to 3 clean, readable looks (no heavy styling)
•Calm, precise direction on posture, movement, and expression
Focus is placed on:
•Natural presence
•Subtle range
•Images that sit comfortably alongside agency-produced test shoots
Stage 3: Post-Production
•Light, natural retouching only
•Clean colour balance and tonal consistency
•No reshaping, heavy skin work, or stylised grading
•Images prepared to meet agency and casting expectations
Stage 4: The Final Product
•10 fully prepared, high-resolution test images
Delivered web and print ready
Suitable for:
•Agency submissions
•Portfolio development
•Client castings

Important Note
Model test shoots are offered selectively to ensure they are appropriate for your current stage. In some cases, model digitals alone may be the most effective next step, and this guidance is given before booking.
