Modeling Comp Card
A modeling comp card is essential to your success in the industry. They can be digital or print, but successful models should have both. A model’s comp card is a 5.5” x 8.5” card that usually has the model’s headshot on the front and three to five images on the back. These images should show the range of the model’s ability. Comp cards are printed on a thick cardstock and are distributed to agencies and potential clients during castings, ‘go-sees,’ and auditions. Put simply – the comp card is your business card. You need a great comp card so that potential clients remember you. You want employers to have your details easily on hand, and so that they can prepare garments for you to model. Make sure your comp card is current and professional-looking to ensure you’ve got the edge in interviews.
