sharpfocus model photography focuses on pictures that make you shine. here are some examples of head shots and body shots to give you an idea of what you’re getting when you book a shoot with us. all of the shots strive to reveal your look and figure in the best angles. agencies that represent models want to have a good idea of what you look like and vital statistics. they want to know if you meet the requirements for becoming a model. that is you have to have a certain height and a desired body shape.

these photographs give you a wide range of poses that show the look and shapes of the models.  if your headshots fail to provide hints about your look, you’re missing out. some photographers will oversell you a portfolio package with hair and makeup, wardrobe etc… but a basic model photo shows your face, your bust and your overall silhouette when standing. so the purpose of sending your snapshots is to just show that you’re model material. so sharpfocus photography keeps it to the basics. you get help showing your assets that are relevant to modeling: great look, good skin, slim body for women and athletic for men. flat stomach, straight legs and that something extra.

when you take modeling pictures, the focus should be on you, nothing else. you need to keep clothes simple and flattering. recommended are tank top, jeans or any body fitting clothes that clearly show your shape. most agencies recommend that you use no makeup and hair is unnecessary. in studio, backdrops need to be plain or uncluttered. no complex backgrounds that you see on some portraits studios. on location, avoid scenics or shooting in the park where landscape is predominant. sharpfocus helps you show that you have what it takes to be a model by taking photos following guidelines for submissions to agencies.

I will use Souleye's services again. He took a great passport photo of me and then handled all the rigmarole of printing the photos to US Passport Agency specifications. He also did some great shots for my professional website. He is a very patient and friendly person to work with.read more

I came to Sharp Focus photography for professional headshots for my website. The photographer was well prepared with various cameras, light setups and a makeup artist. The makeup artist did two styles with me, and the photographer got me from various angles and different lighting. Over all it was an enjoyable experience and he was very helpful with adding final touches to the images, making them look more natural and editing flyaway hair. Would definitely recommendread more

Souleye is a great photographer and gets the job done. What impressed me was how involved he was after the shoot. He went beyond the job description and helped me get my new actor headshots done on the same day. I asked for an appointment on Thursday and had my shoots taken and touched on Saturday. He is also a great value. I would recommend him to my family and friends.read more

My experience working with this photographer was excellent. He really took his time and did a wonderful job. He took many different kinds of shots and I put on many different outfits. Sharpfocus photography does not have high prices, and can easily adjust to anyone's schedule. I was very happy with the way my photos turned out. Thanks Sharp Focus! read more
