Clean model digitals. No glitter cannon required.
Simple, agency-friendly model digitals in Los Angeles for new and working models who need clean submission photos, updated casting images, or a straightforward set of natural portraits that show your face, proportions, and current look clearly.
The photos agencies ask for when they want to see the real you.
Model digitals, sometimes called model polaroids, are clean, simple photos that show your current look without heavy styling, dramatic lighting, retouching, or editorial concepts getting in the way.
Model digitals are usually used for agency submissions, casting updates, open calls, portfolio refreshes, and situations where clients or agents need to see your face, body proportions, hair, skin, and natural presence clearly.
Unlike fashion editorials or beauty shoots, digitals are intentionally simple. The goal is not to create a fantasy version of you. The goal is to create clear, honest, professional images that show what you actually look like right now — which, frankly, is rude but useful.
Digitals are not about doing more. They are about removing everything that gets in the way. Model Digitals / Los Angeles
For models, actors crossing over, new faces, and people submitting to agencies.
Model digitals are useful when you need straightforward photos that show your current look clearly and professionally.
Starting submissions.
Clean images for agency submissions, open calls, scouting requests, and first portfolio materials.
Updating your look.
Fresh digitals after a haircut, color change, body change, age change, or general “my old digitals are lying” moment.
Crossing into commercial work.
Simple model-style photos for commercial submissions, lifestyle casting, print work, and agency requests.
Parent-friendly and simple.
Clean studio photos for those exploring modeling submissions without over-styling or turning it into a fake campaign.
Natural casting photos.
Approachable, clear images that support commercial modeling, lifestyle work, and real-person casting opportunities.
When they ask for digitals.
If an agent or agency asks for updated digitals, this session is designed to create a clean, usable set.
Model digitals are supposed to be plain. That is the point.
The best model digitals are clean, direct, and not overproduced. Think simple wardrobe, natural hair, minimal makeup, straightforward posing, clear lighting, and images that show your current look without a concept swallowing the assignment.
This is not the session for heavy glam, dramatic retouching, complicated styling, or “what if we made it Blade Runner but beige?” That can be fabulous. It is just not what agencies usually mean when they ask for digitals.
The session is guided, but the final images should still feel natural, clean, and easy for agencies or casting professionals to evaluate.
What a model digitals session can include.
Every agency may ask for something slightly different, but most model digitals are built around a simple set of clear photos that show face, body, proportions, and natural presence.
Simple clothes. Clean lines. No fashion dissertation.
Model digitals usually work best with simple, fitted wardrobe that shows your shape without distracting from your face, proportions, and current look.
Avoid large logos, busy patterns, heavy jewelry, oversized clothing that hides your shape, and anything that feels more like a styled fashion story than a clean submission photo.
Hair and makeup should usually feel natural. If makeup is used, it should be minimal and clean. Agencies typically want to see your real features, not a full transformation with contour visible from Burbank.
Fast, simple, guided, and actually useful.
Model digitals do not need to be complicated. The session is designed to create clear images that show your current look and give you a useful set for submissions.

Digitals are not actor headshots wearing a tank top.
Actor headshots and model digitals overlap a little, but they are built for different decisions. Actor headshots are about casting type, personality, expression, and character range. Model digitals are about showing your current physical look clearly and simply.
Clean and minimal.
Designed for agencies and casting professionals to see your current face, body, proportions, hair, and natural presence.
Expression and type.
Designed for casting, characters, commercial and theatrical range, personality, and professional acting profiles.

Questions people ask before taking model digitals.
Practical answers about what model digitals are, what to wear, how they differ from headshots, and what agencies usually want to see.
What are model digitals?
Model digitals are clean, simple photos that show a model’s current look without heavy styling, dramatic lighting, heavy retouching, or editorial concepts. They are often used for agency submissions, casting updates, open calls, and portfolio refreshes.
What is the difference between model digitals and model polaroids?
The terms are often used similarly. Model polaroids traditionally referred to simple instant photos, while model digitals usually refer to clean digital photos used for agency submissions and casting. Both are meant to show your current natural look clearly.
What should I wear for model digitals?
Wear simple, fitted clothing that shows your shape without distracting from your face or proportions. Fitted jeans, a plain t-shirt, tank, bodysuit, leggings, or other clean basics usually work well. Avoid busy patterns, large logos, and oversized clothing that hides your shape.
Should I wear makeup for model digitals?
Makeup should usually be minimal and natural for model digitals. Agencies typically want to see your real features, skin, hair, and current look. If you wear makeup, keep it clean and simple unless an agency gives you specific instructions.
What photos are included in model digitals?
A model digitals set often includes a natural headshot, profile or angled view, three-quarter image, full-body photo, neutral expression, simple smiling photo, and clean standing options. The exact set can vary depending on agency or submission requirements.
How are model digitals different from actor headshots?
Actor headshots focus on casting type, expression, personality, and character range. Model digitals focus on showing your current physical look clearly, including your face, body proportions, hair, skin, and natural presence.
Can I use model digitals for agency submissions?
Yes. Model digitals are commonly used for agency submissions, open calls, scouting requests, and casting updates. Always check the specific agency’s submission requirements before your session if they provide instructions.
Do model digitals need to be retouched?
Model digitals should not be heavily retouched. The goal is to show your current look clearly and honestly. Light cleanup may be appropriate, but heavy skin smoothing, reshaping, dramatic color grading, or beauty retouching defeats the purpose of digitals.
Can model digitals be taken in a studio?
Yes. Studio model digitals can be clean, simple, and consistent when photographed with straightforward lighting and minimal styling. The key is to keep the images natural and agency-friendly rather than overproduced.
