Embarking on a modeling career can be both exciting and overwhelming, especially when faced with terms like comp cards, digitals, and polaroids. Aspiring and beginner models often find themselves unsure of what these terms mean and what agencies expect from them. At KKPhoto Stories, we not only provide exceptional photography services but also help you navigate the complexities of the modeling industry.
What are comp cards, digitals, and polaroids?
Comp cards, also known as composition cards, were traditionally used as a model's marketing tool. They featured a collection of photos showcasing the model's versatility and range. However, in today's digital era, the term "comp card" is not as commonly used. Instead, models often refer to digitals or polaroids, which essentially serve the same purpose.
Digitals, also known as polaroids, are an essential component of a model's portfolio. They capture your essence in a variety of formats, including close-up shots, full-body images, and 3/4th shots. Digitals offer agencies a quick glimpse into your potential and versatility, allowing them to envision how you might fit into different projects and campaigns. These images provide a straightforward, unfiltered representation of your unique features.
What is usually included in digitals?
When it comes to comp cards or digitals, variety is key. Make sure your photos show you in a range of looks, from close-up to full-body shots. This diversity allows agencies and clients to envision how you can contribute to different projects and campaigns. Additionally, it's important to infuse your photos with personality and style. Don't hesitate to let your individuality shine through in your poses and expressions. A captivating comp card or set of digitals is one that reflects your authentic self and leaves a lasting impression.
When creating your digitals, attention to detail is crucial. The images are usually taken on a light distraction-free background, while the model wears little to no makeup, a simple hairstyle that does not cover parts of the face, no accessories, and basic attire that showcases clear lines appropriate for the purpose.
