New models in Pakistan often get confused about what type of photos they should submit to a modeling agency when applying for representation. Many think they need to send their best professional portfolio shots. Surprisingly — that is not what professional agencies want.

At Native Modeling Agency, also known as Lahore Modeling Agency, we review hundreds of model submissions in Lahore every week. The photos we want first are called Digitals / Polaroids — clean, simple, natural, unedited photographs that show your real face, real skin, and real body structure.

This blog will guide new Pakistani models on how to submit photos correctly and how to increase your chance of being selected by agencies in Lahore.

What Photos Do Modeling Agencies Want?

Modeling agencies in Pakistan — including Lahore — only want raw, natural photos for submissions. These images help agencies see your real potential before booking you for test shoots or portfolio building.

These photos are called:

• Digitals
• Polaroids
• Natural Model Submission Photos

This means:

• No filters
• No heavy makeup
• No face tune or editing
• No glam styling

Unless an agency specifically requests professional portfolio images, never send those instead of digitals.

Where to Submit Your Photos on Modeling Agency Websites

Every modeling agency website has a dedicated “Become a Model” or “Model Submission” page.

Some common titles agencies use include:

• Be Discovered
• Become a Model
• Apply Online
• Get Scouted

Before you submit — always read the instructions clearly.
Some Lahore agencies want only 2 images while others want a specific set like:

• front full body
• side profile
• close up face
• mid length

Every agency’s requirement is different.

How to Take Your Digitals Correctly (Professional Style at Home)

Natural digitals can be taken at home — this is what agencies prefer.

Requirements for good digitals:

• shoot in bright natural light
• plain background (white wall is best)
• minimal to no makeup
• no editing or retouching
• simple hair — not too styled

What to wear

Agencies prefer:

• black fitted tank top or t-shirt
• fitted jeans or leggings
• neutral underwear under clothes

Avoid:

• baggy clothes (cannot see your body shape)
• colorful patterns
• shiny jewelry
• bright neon tops
• bold glam makeup

Do You Need a Professional Portfolio Before Applying?

No. Agencies know fresh models in Pakistan will not have a portfolio on day one.
You do not need:

• a full portfolio
• expensive photoshoots
• studio shoots

Agency submissions only require digitals.
Professional portfolio photos are built after you get selected — often through agency test shoots.

Sending professional glam images instead of natural digitals is one of the biggest mistakes new models make. It shows the agency that you can’t follow instructions — and they may reject your submission because of that.

Summary – Tips from Native Modeling Agency Lahore

• always send natural digitals
• follow agency instructions exactly
• simple styling > heavy glam
• portfolio comes later, not first
• the selection is based on your real face & real structure, not filters
