What does a model portfolio consist of?

A modeling portfolio should contain between 15-20 of a model's strongest work. The most important shots include headshots (closeups), as well as published work (known as tearsheets).

The type of images in a model's portfolio should reflect the types/categories of modeling a person specializes in. For example, a fashion model should have fashion related images, a commercial/print model should have print related images, fitness models should have fitness images, etc., etc.

They can be a mixture of both black and white and colored photos.
