Why Model Tests Are So Important
At Avaloni Studios, model test shoots are more than just pretty photos — they are career-building tools. A strong test shoot helps agencies see your range, your natural features, and your versatility in front of the camera. It updates your portfolio, sharpens your image, and positions you for higher-level castings. Whether you’re a new face building your book or an experienced model refreshing your look, test shoots show growth, professionalism, and presence.
In an industry where first impressions happen in seconds, your digital and headshots need to speak clearly and confidently. A great test doesn’t hide you — it elevates you.
What Types of Photos Are Included in a Model Headshot Shoot?
Every Avaloni model test is intentionally structured to give you a strong, agency-ready portfolio foundation.
Your session may include:
• Clean beauty headshots (minimal makeup, natural light feel)/Male Models: Clean, groomed shots
• Commercial-friendly smiles and personality shots
• Editorial close-ups with expression variation
• ¾ length and full-length images
• Natural digitals (if requested)
• Black & white portraits
• Movement shots to show fluidity and confidence
We focus on capturing range — soft, strong, commercial, editorial — so casting directors can clearly see what you bring to the table.
The goal? Images that look polished but still authentically you.
