Model Test Plus: what the £475 session includes

21 Aug

Model Test Plus is the same session with the ceiling lifted. Two hours instead of ninety minutes, five looks instead of three, and a third or fourth lighting setup, which is the point at which a book stops looking like one shoot and starts looking like a working model.

Book it if you want to update several areas of your portfolio in one go rather than coming back three times.

What you get

2 hours in the studio
Up to 5 looks across 3 to 4 lighting setups
7 fully retouched images, high-resolution and web-ready
£475, and we are not VAT registered, so no VAT is added

What the extra time actually buys

Time to experiment. In a 90-minute test the plan has to hold, because there is no room to try something and be wrong. At two hours there is.

That usually means one setup we have not agreed in advance: harder light, a different colour, movement, something with an edge, built around whatever your current book is missing. It is often the frame that ends up first in the portfolio.

It also means the styling gets proper attention. Five looks lets us build a genuine progression across the session rather than three variations on the same register.

Who it suits

Models whose book is strong in one direction and empty in another.
Anyone approaching new agencies who needs range on file rather than a single strong look.
People who have shot a test before and know what they want to fix.

How to get the most out of it

Come with a list of what is missing from your current book, not what is bad. Then the session gets planned around that gap rather than around what you already know works. More on that in what agencies actually look for.

Add-ons

Hair and make-up can be arranged: tell us in advance. Extra retouched images are added after the shoot, once you have seen everything. Commercial licensing is quoted separately where a client needs it.
