Which photoshoot do you actually need?
The pictures are going to people who look at pictures professionally — agencies, casting directors, art buyers. That audience reads a portfolio differently from the way a client reads a website.
A studio or location session built to produce range rather than one look: clean portrait, full length, movement, and at least one editorial frame with a stronger concept. Retouched to a professional standard, delivered in a private gallery.
You said the images go to agencies or castings, and you need little direction. That changes what we shoot: a portfolio needs proof that you can be styled several ways and still be recognisably yourself, so we spend the session moving between registers rather than perfecting a single one.
A clean, unretouched-looking digital — front, profile, full length, no makeup games — alongside the editorial frames. Portfolios that skip the plain shots make bookers suspicious, because heavy styling hides exactly what they are assessing. Bring simple clothing for those frames: fitted, plain, no logo.
Retouching is £10 per photograph beyond the images included in your session, so it is worth selecting for the ones you will actually submit rather than finishing everything.
The quiz asks 7 questions and each answer adds weight to one or more of 6 outcomes. This page is the one your answers weighted highest; the alternatives were Personal Branding Session, Fashion Lookbook, Brand Content Day, UGC Pieces and Hotel & Venue Content. Where two outcomes score closely the honest answer is that either would work, which is why every outcome is readable from the list below rather than hidden behind the quiz.
