People often ask us if they need a portfolio to get a conventional agent, and the answer is generally no. However a vast amount of people in the industry manage to get their own work by self promotion, getting out there, putting their name forward, sending out photographs joining casting websites and networking across the modelling and entertainment industry, For this a portfolio is an invaluable tool, and the more varied it is and the more different aspects of your look it shows the better chance you have of getting work. No one can ever promise you will find work in the modelling and entertainment world and no one can guarantee overnight fame, but the more dedicated and focused you are and the more you push yourself the more chance you have of success.
