Not sure what a Comp or Composite Card is? Check out this link. It is your basic marketing tool as a model. It is your calling card. To be taken seriously and come across as a professional, it is a must to have a Comp Card (8.5 x 5.5”). One important thing to keep in mind when doing a Comp Card is that your headshot (on the front) should have minimum makeup and styling. Why? Because ad agencies or Clients want to see what you look like in the ‘raw.’ This then enables them to see what styling and makeup would be appropriate for the shoot they have in mind. Also, keep ‘Photoshopping’ to a minimum, if you must have it ‘Photoshopped.’ Clients want to see you the way you are – at least in your headshot. For the remainder of the shots (on the back, 4 shots), show your versatility by doing different outfits and different looks. Showcase how you can carry off any style whether it is a Fitness (Gym Clothing) shoot or Evening Wear or Casual Jeans or wearing Shorts or a Picnic Dress or Swimwear or Lingerie. Check out Pinterest for ideas on Comp Card layouts but, keep yours elegant & professional.

Comp Cards are also called by some as Z Card or Zed Card or Sed Card with Comp Card still being the most common name.

If you are looking for anything related to getting your Modeling or Fashion Photography Portfolio, I can help. Whether you need images requested by a Modeling Agency for your qualification round or need Comp Cards designed and printed for marketing your Modeling talents, I can help. I am your 1-Stop-Shop for everything from taking the photographs to delivering printed Comp Cards. Additionally, given my Digital and Technology Background, I can also design your web portfolio site. Help you with consistent and professional branding and look regardless of the channel you use to market your talent. Keep in mind that these days, it is acceptable to have an online version of the Comp Card. I would still suggest getting a small number of cards printed as it always makes a favorable impression when you give someone a tangible card. The big advantage of the online version is of course the ability to send it immediately and change out images as needed.

You can ALWAYS bring a supportive friend or a significant other or a family member to ALL shoots. No need to ask – ever. There is a good chance that we will put them to use during the shoot. Also, when possible, I like to shoot two models at a time so that while one is changing and getting ready, I can continue to shoot with the other and they can be supportive to each other.

Searching for Modeling Agencies Near Me in McAllen?

Whether you search for local or regional or national Modeling Agencies, do it cautiously. Agencies that demand substantial sums of money upfront should raise a red flag. Search them by name to see what kind of reputation or reviews they have online and proceed from there.

For a low cost and in some instances at no monetary cost to you, I may be able to help you create a basic Modeling Portfolio. Meaning, if you have a look or concept that I am also looking for, we would trade your time and effort (you provide outfits, makeup, hairstyling) for my time and effort and you receive web quality (meaning you won’t be able to print from them but, can purchase a license to purchase them if you would like) images with my watermark on the bottom right.

How Does the Modeling Photoshoot Work?

Step 1 – I evaluate your current pics, facial features, physique based on the pictures you send me. Send recent pics – headshots, full-body shots along with measurements. If those are taken with a phone, that is fine.

Step 3 – Set a date or dates for the Modeling Photoshoot.

Step 4 – Modeling Photoshoot.

Step 5 – I review the images from the Modeling Photoshoot and edit them as appropriate.

Step 6 – Review images together and finalize.
