Digitals A.K.A ‘Polaroids’ are an important set of photos that you’ll continuously update as a signed or independent model.
Digitals are photos that are taken of you with natural lighting and, in your most natural state; no makeup, excessive hair styling, or dramatic poses are needed.
They show clients and model scouts how you appear naturally before hair and makeup is set.
Oftentimes when you attend an open call, if the agency is somewhat interested in signing you; then they’ll take a few digitals in front of a solid color wall.
To get an idea of how to pose for digitals is by go on a reputable modeling agencies website. Sometimes you may find digitals on a modeling agencies Instagram feed, but you’ll find more on their website.
Under each model’s portfolio, there’s a ‘digitals’ category.
From there, you’ll see simple photos taken of that model in natural lighting in front of a plain white wall.
Another way to figure out if your photos are correct is by going under the ‘Become A Model’ section of the agency you’re interested in, and from there they’ll have examples on how exactly your digitals should look.

Search Modeling Agencies Social Media
Is there any engagement under the comment section?
How many followers and likes does the modeling agency have?
Are they posting photos of THEIR own models?

Most of the time you’ll see candid photos of models at their agency, agents celebrating each other’s birthday, and runway videos near fashion week.
Taking The Right Model Digitals Is CRUCIAL!
Your appearance is important.
Don’t take your digitals until you feel good mentally and physically.
Some days we feel greater than others.
So wait until you feel pleasant.
You’ll get signed when the time is right!
Your hair needs to be clean. No flakes should be visible.
Your skin needs to be moisturized
Remove your nail polish and fake nails
No Jewelry or headbands should be worn in the digitals
Remember, you need to be as natural as possible!
Makeup isn’t preferred, but a little tinted moisturizer won’t hurt!
Use Natural Lighting - Sunlight If Possible
Wait until sunrise or sundown to take your digitals.
The light from the sun can’t be harsh at all, so taking digitals after 11am is a no go!
Be sure that the background of your pictures is clear from any distractions.
No plants, Christmas trees, or other people should be visible in your photo.
Ideally, a plain white wall is what agencies prefer.
Ask someone who you feel comfortable with to take your digitals, or use a tripod
Having someone take your photos can allow the process to be quicker.
If you live alone and you get an email from an agency asking you for more digitals, then a tripod will come in handy.
Set the timer on your phone or camera
Create a relaxing environment, turn on some feel good music, and be sure you’re in camera focus.
ABSOLUTELY NO BLURRY DISTORTED IMAGES!!
Your Outfit Needs To Be Simple For Digitals
Once in a while (but not always) a modeling agency will request digitals to be taken in a solid color bathing suit.
To feel the most comfortable with submitting swimsuit images is to know that the agency your submitting to is LEGIT!
Most often, modeling agencies want images of you in simple attire
Dark Solid color jeans (Dark wash or Black)
Solid color tank top or T-Shirt (White, Grey or Black)
Heels: Black or Nude classic
Barefoot is fine if the agency doesn’t state to wear heels
But wearing heels is more flattering and elongates your legs!
Be sure to size your photos according to what is asked for, or else your submission won’t be accepted.
Use Your Phone For Easy Upload
Image size only gets complicated when you’re using a digital camera.
Sometimes you forget to change the settings to something more suitable for uploading.
Modeling agencies will state that each photo needs to be under 2MB.
If your images come out larger than they should,
google search ‘Image resizer’ and sure enough, a few websites will pop up!
Once you’re satisfied with your images, send them out to modeling agencies and post them to your social media. You never know who’s watching.
You might get scouted through social media!
