YOUR QUESTIONS, ANSWERED
No. Model Discovery welcomes first-time and aspiring models. You’ll receive guidance on posture, posing and expression throughout your session. (Age 18+)
Sessions take place outdoors in Leeds City Centre, using carefully chosen locations with plain walls and simple backgrounds. We aim for clean photographs without distracting people, vehicles or street clutter. Your exact meeting point will be provided with your booking confirmation.
No. Clean model photographs can be taken outdoors using suitable natural light and an uncluttered background. What matters is that your face, features and proportions are clearly visible.
Model digitals are simple, natural photographs showing your current appearance. They include headshots, profiles, mid-length and full-length views, with straightforward clothing and minimal styling. They are kept free from beauty retouching or changes to your features and body shape.
Digitals show your natural appearance with simple framing and minimal styling. Portfolio photographs allow more expression, posing and creative direction, and are professionally edited for a polished finish.
A model card, also called a comp card or composite card, is a concise visual introduction to you as a model. It combines selected photographs with key details such as your name, height, measurements, clothing and shoe sizes, hair colour and eye colour.
The Model Starter Pack includes a bespoke digital card rather than printed copies.
Your digital model card can support agency submissions where accepted, casting applications, and introductions to brands, designers or other potential clients seeking models.
You can attach it to a relevant introductory email or share it when a casting contact requests your details. Always follow the recipient’s submission instructions, as some require individual photographs or an application form instead.
Yes. You can share your delivered photographs and digital model card on your own social media, personal website and portfolio to introduce yourself and showcase your look.
Credit Nefertiti Spades where practical. Share only contact details you are comfortable making public. Posting can help present your work, but does not guarantee brand enquiries or bookings.
Not necessarily. Many agencies accept simple, natural photographs taken on a phone. Check each agency’s application requirements first.
The Model Starter Pack is an optional way to build a coordinated collection of photographs and a digital model card, rather than a requirement for applying.
Bring simple, well-fitting clothing in neutral colours, avoiding large logos or busy patterns. Keep your hair natural and your face clearly visible. For clean digitals, arrive without makeup or with minimal makeup.
You’ll receive preparation details with your booking confirmation.
Yes. Your session of up to one hour and one professionally edited photograph of your choice are complimentary. You do not need to purchase the Model Starter Pack to attend or receive your free photograph.
After your session, once you’ve viewed your private watermarked proof gallery. The optional pack costs £90, with no obligation to purchase.
If you choose the Model Starter Pack, we’ll ask you to provide your name and accurate model details, including your height, relevant measurements, clothing and shoe sizes, hair colour and eye colour, plus your preferred professional contact information.
These are outdoor sessions, so weather conditions may affect the arrangements. We’ll contact you directly if conditions require a change to your appointment.
Nefertiti Spades provides photography, rather than agency representation or job placement. Your photographs and model card can support your portfolio and applications, but agency acceptance and bookings depend on each organisation’s requirements and decisions.
