  • These are typically shot with minimal to no makeup, clean styling, and basic poses to highlight your natural features, height, and proportions.

  • They often include full-body, profile, and close-up shots against a plain background.

  • Purpose: To give agencies a clear view of your look without any distractions.

    Test Shoot also known as Model Development Vibes:

    • A test shoot is a creative, styled session designed to showcase your versatility, personality, and ability to model different looks or concepts.

    • It often includes professional lighting, multiple outfits, makeup, and various poses.

    • The images are retouched to enhance quality while maintaining a natural look.

    • Purpose: To build or refresh your portfolio with dynamic, high-quality images that demonstrate your range as a model.

In short, agency digitals are raw and natural, while a test shoot is styled and polished to showcase your modeling potential!
