Having a friend or amateur or the wrong child modeling portfolio photographer (see photo at above left) or comp card photographer is very high on the list of career killing mistakes as:
The vast majority of photographers have no idea how to properly create professional looking comp card, portfolio and headshot photographs and the images they produce will always do more harm than good because you will not get picked up by top tier agencies and you will not work much, if at all.

• 99% of comp card, modeling portfolio and headshot photographers are working with cheap and/or outdated cameras that are prone to breakdown and will not give the best results even when working properly and very few, if any, do not carry a second camera as backup.
Moda Bambini Kids Photography utilizes only high end / state of the art equipment and cameras and two camera backup.
• 99% of comp card, modeling portfolio and headshot photographers have no idea how to create or find good lighting in studio or on location.
Moda Bambini Kids Photography has three decades of New York. Los Angeles and Miami Beach experience with available light photography as well as state of the art indoor/outdoor studio lighting.
• 99% of comp card, modeling portfolio and head shot photographers do not do their own photo printing and, if they do, they are very likely doing it on a cheap - $100 or less - all purpose home printer instead of a pro level - $1000 or more - dedicated photo printer.
Moda Bambini Kids Photography utilizes only state of the art dedicated photo printers including $1200 Epson SureColor Printers - widely acclaimed as the best photo printers in the world.
• 99% of comp card, modeling portfolio and headshot photographers do not do REAL image optimization and retouching and, if they do, they are doing it on a small screen laptop computer where it is impossible to even see imperfections let alone retouch.
Moda Bambini Kids Photography does expert image optimization and retouching on a 27" Apple Retina Display.
• 99% of comp card, modeling portfolio and head shot photographers that claim to do 'professional' retouching actually use 'catfish filters' and/or 'one-click' software that produces sandblasted plastic Barbie Doll looking skin and overly whitened, overly sharpened 'fried marble' looking eyes which also destroys the meta-data in the image files which causes the images to look terrible when printed out. Agents, casting directors and potential employers don't trust this look so you will not get picked up by top tier agencies and your kids will not work much, if at all.
Moda Bambini Kids Photography does expert image optimization and photo retouching exclusively in Photoshop and Lightroom like all serious professionals do.
• 99% of comp card, modeling portfolio and headshot photographers are either amateurs, part timers or both, they have a very slow turnaround time and it is not unusual for them to takes weeks and sometimes even months to deliver comp cards and portfolio photographs.

Moda Bambini Kids Photography has over three decades of real world experience in major markets including South Florida, New York and Los Angeles.
• 99% of comp card, modeling portfolio and head shot photographers have very little credibility and very few - if any - have high level, film television, commercial and modeling industry connections.
Moda Bambini Kids Photography has all of the above and more including an outstanding track record that goes back over thirty years.
• 99% of comp card, modeling portfolio and headshot photographers will display the 20 or so of the best photos they have ever taken in their life on their website - some or all of which may have been taken at a workshop of some kind where someone else set up the shots which means that the photographer had very little, if anything, to do with actually creating the images except for pushing the button on the camera - so what you end up getting from him or her will look nowhere near as good as what you saw on their website.
Moda Bambini Kids Photography consistently delivers world class results and has taught instructional workshops for photographers in New York, Los Angeles, Las Vegas, Atlanta, Miami, Miami Beach and the Caribbean.
• 99% of agent or 'manager' referred comp card, modeling portfolio and head shot photographers are splitting fees with or paying kickbacks. Example: The model pays an agency $500 for a 'test shoot' and the agent or 'manager' pockets $250 to $450 so what you are really getting is a $50 to $250 photo shoot for $500 which is not only highly unethical it is also specifically illegal in some states.
Moda Bambini Kids Photography has never split fees with or paid kickbacks to agencies or "managers". Not once. Not ever.
• 99% of comp card, modeling portfolio and headshot photographers, agency referred or otherwise, do not guarantee their work.
