MODELING VOCABULARY
portfolio: Contains professional photographs and tear sheets that show client examples of your work.
zed card / composite card: A group of pictures showing a model in different poses and with different “looks”. Normally the front will have a headshot and the back of the card will contain 3-4 other photos. The model’s name, agency and statistics are listed on the card also.
tear sheet: These are pages from magazines and other publications that show a model at work. Since tear sheets indicate experience they are essential credentials.
testing: Testing is the term used for a photographic session to produce pictures for your portfolio and composite.
go-sees / audition / interview: A job interview with a photographer or a client.
casting: A casting is an interview for a television commercial.
callback: This is a second audition for a job.
head shot: A close up photograph of a model’s head and face.
a shoot: Time spent in a studio or on location with a photographer or camera crew for an assignment.
on location: This is where the shoot takes place. It can be a place you know well or an exotic spot on the other side of the world. If you are working for a client, this is your opportunity to travel, with all expenses paid including your model fee.
voucher / invoice: A voucher or invoice is a payment contract between you and the client. It is essential that you fill these out correctly with all information printed neatly. You give the client a copy, your agency a copy, and retain a copy for your records. Never allow a photographer or client to add any conditions to the voucher or delete any reference to reproduction rights. Always call the agency if you have any questions.
