How do I go about getting my Comp Card?
Start off by finding a good photographer whose work you like and admire. A photographer who regularly photographs models. Book a model portfolio session with your photographer.
Do headshots and body shots in several different looks. Do as many different looks as you can afford, and don’t be shy to experiment. Often a photographer will see something in you that you did not know was there.
Take their direction – trust your photographer’s eye!
A starter model portfolio session can cost anything upwards from a few hundred dollars to several thousand depending on the photographer and the amount of time you need.
From the shoot select the best images for your comp card – never more than 5 or 6 at the most.
Take them to a local printer or email them to online comp card printers. They will tell you want size and resolution they need. Your photographer might also be able to arrange to have them done for you or point you to a good local printer.
Get 100-200 cards printed. 200 Comp Cards should cost around $200. Most comp card printers have templates and can advise you on the design and look of your comp card.
