What’s Irving Serving? 

Ok Kidz, Summer has officially arrived, so let’s do this, making it the perfect time to refresh your digitals, also known as polaroids. Whether you’re an experienced model, an aspiring talent, a handsome young gentleman, a fabulous fashion doll, or one of our energetic little stars, updated digitals are one of the most important tools in your portfolio. These simple, natural photos give agencies, casting directors, and clients an accurate look at who you are today and often serve as your first impression in the industry.

One of the greatest benefits of taking digitals during the summer is the beautiful natural light. Being sunkissed is amazing in a photo. A bright outdoor setting with indirect sunlight can create clean, flattering images that showcase your features without the need for expensive equipment or heavy editing. The goal of digitals is authenticity, so keep your look simple and natural. For the guys, that means a clean, well-groomed appearance and fitted, solid-colored clothing. For the dolls, minimal makeup and simple styling allow your natural beauty to take center stage: lip gloss, some mascara, hair in its natural state- fantastic. For the kiddies, genuine smiles, natural expressions, and age-appropriate clothing help capture the personality and energy that clients love to see. You can never ever go wrong with jeans and a crisp white T-shirt, the go-to of every model.

Remember, clients want to see the real you. Avoid all those filters; you won’t need em. Avoid excessive retouching or overly styled looks that don’t reflect your everyday appearance. As your look changes throughout the year, your digitals should change too. Fresh photos ensure that when opportunities come your way, agencies and clients know exactly who they’re considering for the job. The summer sun is giving you free professional lighting, so take advantage of it, step outside, and give your portfolio the refresh it deserves. That’s what’s Irving serving this summer, as well as some great looks. (WINK).
