As mentioned in the Performers & Models section of the website, there is often a professional need for personal photos, but this is especially true for those people pursuing any kind of modelling.

It is usually required that a comprehensive set of pictures is put together as a portfolio, often referred to as your 'book'.

Very often models can partly create their book with good complimentary pictures taken by photographers as test shots. But even so, it will usually be necessary to kick start this process with an initial photo session, followed by occasional updates.

Mike Alsford will continue to retain the spirit of casual, versatile, unrushed photo shoots, where the client and photographer can work together on styling and location ideas. A make-up artist can be engaged as a separate arrangement.

Whether you are aiming for runway or page, market the model you.
