Click on the image for an anecdote of the modeling shoot which produced this picture.In this third picture, you can see why the Tampa Bay area is one of the best in the world for modeling portfolio development work. Photograph by Tampa photographer C. A. Passinault.Image four of our online portfolio of another Tampa model. This photograph, if we are not mistaken, was taken on location in the Tampa Bay area. The best modeling portfolio photographs are location shots.This is another great picture. This is the fifth model photograph on Tampa Bay Modeling. Pictures featured in our thumbnail array may not be the same as those of models which are in our featured model section, but often, they are one and the same.Unmatched in any Florida modeling market. The quality of this image is excellent! Photograph by C. A. Passinault, our resident photographer and modeling expert.Another top Tampa model gets their look on. The best models can obtain a wide range of looks, as you can see when you look at other pictures of this model!Is it any wonder why more and more companies and art directors are booking independent models without going through an agency? Proof that you can be a professional model, with a lucrative career, without being dependent upon an agency to find and book modeling jobs!Another awesome photograph of a Tampa model by modeling photographer C. A. Passinault, lead photographer Aurora PhotoArts, and director of Tampa Bay Modeling.For modeling portfolio work in the Tampa Bay area, nothing beats location work. Studio photography is not nearly as cost effective, or appropriate, for modeling portfolio work.Keep in mind that this picture, for a modeling portfolio, was taken by a qualified modeling portfolio photographer, C. A. Passinault, for a specialized, professional market, which is modeling. A wedding photographer or a portrait studio will not be able to give models what they need for an effective modeling portfolio, as you have to know what you are doing!This is the 12th picture in our Tampa Bay Modeling online portfolio. Yet another Tampa model shows a marketable look in their portfolio. The best models are capable of the most looks, and are not locked into a single look!Agency model or independent model? It doesnt matter, anymore, especially in Tampa Bay. Professional models like this one can be booked without going through an agency, saving both the model and the job agency fees.Modeling portfolios need at least six looks, and by looks, we mean different looks. A composite cards needs at least five, on average, with a headshot on the front, and four different looks on the back of the comp card. This Tampa model is demonstrating a marketable look right now, in this photography. Picture by C. A. Passinault.

Information about creating modeling zeds for the Tampa Bay modeling market and other modeling markets.

Please read our exclusive article here on Tampa Bay Modeling about modeling composite cards. It’s a great article which far exceeds the scope of this section.

The term “zed” is a generic term for a zed card, also known as a modeling composite, or comp, card. Zeds were the first name for composite cards, which are known by a variety of names.
A zed is the business card of the model, with the name of the model, their contact information, stats, and a variety of pictures from their portfolio. The industry standard size for zed is 8 X 5 ½ inches, although 7 X 5 is also a common size.
Modeling portfolio photographs on modeling zeds are on both sides of the card. The front of the zed card usually has a color headshot of the model and the name, along with an area on the zed card where others, such as modeling agencies, and place contact information. The back of the zed has several more pictures from the modeling portfolio, each picture of a different look that the model can achieve, maximizing their marketability for a variety of modeling jobs, as well as demonstrating what they can do.
A good zed will get the modeling job interested in the model, and the model will then bring in their full modeling portfolio in for an interview, also known as a go-see. The model is then considered for the modeling job.
