MODEL PORTFOLIO SHOOTS

Building a strong portfolio is essential for any model aiming to succeed in the competitive fashion industry. At our studio, we recognise the critical role a high-quality portfolio plays in attracting the attention of agencies and clients alike. With these shoots, our team aims to provide more than just beautiful images; we offer a space where models feel supported, allowing them to explore their creativity, experiment with poses, and express their individuality, all while being guided by a team of seasoned professionals, and gain confidence in front of the camera. Through this approach, we’ve changed the way models experience working with photographers, making the process enjoyable and empowering.

Our extensive experience in the fashion industry brings a depth of knowledge to each shoot. Every model who works with us receives tailored direction and advice, from perfecting poses to understanding what industry professionals seek in both editorial and campaign work. Our goal is to empower models to feel confident in front of the camera, fully prepared for a variety of professional scenarios. By choosing our portfolio services, models receive an experience that goes beyond imagery—it’s a collaboration that elevates their potential and prepares them to make a lasting impression in the industry. As professionals, we provide the essential tools and guidance models need to thrive in the fashion world, making these portfolio shoots a valuable and transformative experience.

SERVICES

  • Having a pre-shoot consultation with a model or modeling agency is invaluable to ensuring that each photoshoot aligns perfectly with the model’s unique qualities and career goals. Myself and my experienced team of fashion professionals take the time to understand the specific needs of each model, discussing everything from desired aesthetics to the intended use of the images. This collaborative approach not only enhances the final results but also reflects the level of professionalism and dedication we bring to every project. Our priority is to deliver impactful, high-quality images that elevate each model’s portfolio and support agencies in showcasing their talent effectively.

  • As a fashion photographer, I offer model portfolio services that cover both studio and on-location shoots, allowing models to showcase their versatility in diverse settings and styles. Whether it’s the controlled, creative lighting of the studio or the dynamic possibilities of an outdoor location, I design each session to highlight the model’s strengths and individuality. With extensive experience working both in-studio and on-location for renowned brands, clients, and modeling agencies, I bring a wealth of expertise to every shoot. This background allows me to capture images that stand out, helping models build portfolios that resonate with agencies and elevate their professional presence in the industry.

  • My creative team provides top-tier services for every photoshoot, featuring experienced hair and makeup artists who bring each concept to life with skill and creativity. Whether the vision calls for bold, intricate looks or refined, minimal styles, each team member is equipped with the latest techniques and knowledge of current trends. Their expertise ensures that every model and client is styled to perfection, enhancing the overall impact of the imagery. With a commitment to excellence and adaptability, our creative team consistently delivers high-quality, up-to-date results that elevate every project.

  • Our model portfolio services stand out as a premium choice, offering a polished and elevated experience that is unmatched. Working with skilled clothing stylists, we provide access to both branded and high-street fashion, carefully curated to enhance each model's versatility. This higher-quality wardrobe not only elevates the shoot but also gives models the unique opportunity to interact with the clothing, creating dynamic poses and compelling silhouettes that reflect editorial standards. With the support of our experienced hair and makeup artists and fashion-forward stylists, every portfolio shoot looks magazine-ready. By booking with us, models can be assured of an exceptional, professional result that truly sets their portfolio apart in the fashion industry.

  • Our model portfolio services include professional retouching, handled by expert retouchers who ensure each image is polished to the highest standards in line with current industry practices. With a focus on consistency and subtlety, our retouching process is designed to maintain the natural beauty and texture of the model’s skin—no heavy over-editing, just refined, professional quality. After retouching, I personally review every detail, conducting a thorough quality check to make sure each image aligns with our high standards. Models and agencies can be assured that every final photo not only meets industry expectations but also retains the authenticity and essence of the original shot.

TERMS AND CONDITIONS

Notes: Customised model photoshoot prices are negotiable on multiple bookings on the same day. If you or your agency would like to book more than one model on the day a discount of 25% will be applied to each models cost. This is only available on the Customised Shoots in the studio and on-location, not on Model Portfolio Days. Please email ahead if you would like this service and a customised invoice will be sent to all parties involved.

Turn around times for editing and final images on photoshoots will be between 2 and 3 weeks, this includes the selection process which can be managed by either the team, Samuel Geals or the booking party. Samuel will uphold his promise to turn around images within the 2 and 3 week period.

All bookings made will require full payment up front, meaning no booking is secure until full payment has been made. Samuel is open to split payments from the booking party or booking parties. Once the full payment has been made, Samuel and the team will book the studio, give a consultation, start organisation of the photoshoot and prepare a full plan and Call Sheet for the shoot date.

For all Agencies booking photoshoots, a standard requirement of two weeks notice is needed before the shoot date to allow for all organisation to be completed and payments to clear. Once payment has been cleared the studio booking will be made on an agreed date provided the studio is available at this time. Flexibility will be given to each person making the booking.

Any cancellations made to bookings are required at least 3 working days in advance. Once the booking has been cancelled there will be monetary penalisations added to the booking. If a full cancellation is made by the booking party, this will incur a 50% charge and the booking party will receive 50% of the full price back. This will be classed as a ‘cancellation fee’ on the new invoice. If a cancellation is made 12h before the photoshoot date, the booking party will forfeit the full amount paid. If in the event of re-booking there can also be cancellation fees added as per the studios terms and conditions, and the booking can require extra payment for the next booking. Samuel and the team at D2 Creative Productions will not incur any fees or penalisations if the shoot is cancelled by the booking party and will be solely up to the booking party to cover any penalisations.
