"Everyone loves a new face so present yourself as a new face as often as you can." - The Model Talent Bible
• Outdated and/or amateur looking photos and comp cards will make it very difficult for agencies to book your kids while up-to-date professional professional photos and comp cards will make it very easy.
• Kids with up-to-date professional photos and comp cards typically average at least double or triple the number of bookings as kids without.
• Without up-to-date photos and comp cards you will end up spending several times more money on gasoline (in many cases hundreds of dollars per month) to go on castings with than what a small investment in a professional photo shoot would be.
• Losing just ONE booking this year because of amateur looking and/or outdated photos and comp cards will cost you more than a professional photo shoot and booking just ONE extra job or getting just ONE direct booking this season because you have up to date photos and comp cards will pay for the cost of a professional shoot and comp cards with money to spare.
• Without up to date and professional photos and comp cards you're in a race to the bottom so why set your kids up for failure?
Typical agency requirement: Portfolio photos and composite cards must be updated every few months.
After a few months you may think your kid’s appearance hasn’t changed much, but to everyone else it has changed so you always need to have up to date photos and comp cards.
• One top Florida modeling agency has the following sentence in their model/talent contract: “Your photos and composite cards must look professional and must be up to date or WE WILL NOT SEND YOU OUT.”
• A top New York agency states at the very top of the first page of their model/talent guidelines: "Only send up to date HIGH QUALITY photos, nothing grainy or amateur and at least five photos with five different poses and expressions. The more photos we have, the more we can submit you."
• Another top Florida modeling agency guidelines page states: "Make sure your pictures actually look like you and make sure they are recent."
• A top New York model/talent agency advises: "It is your responsibility to keep the agency stocked with up-to-date comp cards, headshots, etc. If the agency runs out of of stock you will not be submitted for jobs."
• An email notification that another top Florida agency sends out reads: "Don't forget to update your pictures on a regular basis as without new photos and composite cards getting work for you will be very difficult."
• Another top New York model/talent agency sends out this message: "Many of the kids we have on file have old photos. It is important to make sure we have a photo that looks like what your child looks like right now. Many clients book off of photos and your photos must look like the child so if your photographs are not current we will take them your child out of our system."
• Another top Florida agency states in their guidelines: "Whenever there is a change in your child's appearance, please advise and mail in updated photos. We should always have 30 printed comp cards on file. Digital copies are not sufficient."
When business is booming some agencies might send you out with outdated or amateur looking photographs and composite cards but when business is slow - guess who will very seldom (if ever) get request castings, guess who will very seldom (if ever) get direct bookings, guess who will be the last to be sent out on regular castings and guess who's child will be the first to get dropped from the agency altogether. Yes, you read that right, and if you don't have professional looking up-to-date photographs and comp cards it will be you.
Models and actors with up to date professional photos and comp cards from a trusted source typically get five to ten times as many bookings as those without.
