In today’s fast-paced modeling world, knowing how to take high-quality modeling digitals (also called polaroids) is essential for getting noticed by modeling agencies and clients. With more casting calls happening online, agencies like Native Modeling Agency in Lahore rely heavily on these natural, unedited images to assess a model’s true potential.
Whether you are in Lahore, Karachi, Islamabad, or Faisalabad, understanding how to capture perfect modeling digitals can greatly improve your chances of getting signed and booked for projects.
What Are Modeling Digitals (Polaroids)?
Modeling digitals are simple, unedited photos that show your face and body in the most natural way possible. No heavy makeup, no filters, and no photo editing. These images help agencies and clients see your true features without distractions.
Think of them as your modeling “mug shots”—basic but powerful tools that showcase your natural beauty and potential.
Why Modeling Digitals Are More Important Than Ever
With many casting calls now happening virtually, Native Modeling Agency and other top Pakistani modeling agencies request fresh digitals from their models regularly. These images are used for:
- New model submissions to agencies
- Casting calls for fashion shows, TV commercials, and brand campaigns
- Portfolio updates to reflect any changes in your look
Modeling Digitals vs. Professional Photos
Many new models believe professional photos are better for agency submissions—but for initial evaluations, agencies want raw, unedited shots. Professional photos are great for your portfolio, but digitals help agencies see you exactly as you are, ensuring you’re a good fit for upcoming projects.
How Often Should You Update Your Digitals?
Most agencies in Pakistan recommend updating your modeling digitals every 2–3 months or whenever your appearance changes—such as hair length, color, or body shape.
Tips for Taking Perfect Modeling Digitals
1. Use a Neutral Background
Choose a white or plain-colored wall with no distractions. If you don’t have one indoors, you can take photos against a neutral wall outside.
2. Lighting Is Key
Natural daylight is the best. Stand in evenly lit areas to avoid shadows or overexposure.
3. Keep It Simple
- Minimal or no makeup
- Natural hairstyle
- Neutral-colored nails
4. Outfit Choice
The “model uniform” works best—black tank top, fitted dark jeans, and heels. Avoid bright colors, patterns, and wedge heels.
5. Required Angles
Always include:
- Headshot (smiling & non-smiling)
- Profile shot
- ¾ headshot
- Full-body front shot (smiling & non-smiling)
What to Avoid in Modeling Digitals
- Heavy makeup or filters
- Over-edited backgrounds
- Distracting outfits
- Lingerie or revealing clothing (professional agencies will never request these)
