Actor and Model Portfolios: some thoughts to consider

Packages for actors and models on the surface may appear to be very similar but there are differences in the focus, style, and other factors that you may want to consider.  In general, it may be helpful to consider that the goal of an actor's headshot/portrait portfolio is to provide a compelling representation of the person's skills, potential, and range highlighting strengths, helping agents and casting directors envision his/her potential for various roles.  

In general, the goal of the model's headshot/portrait portfolio is to highlight the person's qualities and abilities, including general appearance, enabling potential clients, agencies, and casting directors to see how the individual would be a good fit for particular projects and publications. The portfolio should include not only stunning headshots but headshots and portraits that show a variety of expressions, looks, locations, etc.
