I was invited by Canon UK to photograph the new Richard Nicholl collections at London Fashion Week 2012. These photos were taken at an exclusive preview held at Somerset House in London and sponsored by Vodafone who are the main corporate sponsor for LFW 2012.

Building a genuine modelling portfolio with LUXE Models - Do I need to pay a deposit?

LUXE Models

Plenty of aspiring models have come to me asking whether LUXE Models is worthwhile and whether it helps you break into modelling.

While LUXE Models is not an agency and cannot find you work, you can't be considered for modelling work without a portfolio. It's essentially your CV for the modelling agencies and will enhance your potential to become a model.

If you're looking to gain confidence or find your best look, LUXE Models does have a team of professionals to help you refine your look.

Plenty of people ask about building a genuine portfolio with LUXE Models and whether you need to pay a deposit for their services.

Of course, there are cheaper ways for you to break into modelling and it is worth considering every option before you decide to take any service.

How much does it cost?

LUXE Models is not a free service, and while they do give some good advice and modelling tips, you should expect to pay for your portfolio, as well as a refundable deposit, for any other services you require.

According to the LUXE Models FAQ page, packages with Kube Studios start at £299. It also says that you can add an "assortment of promotional goods, which have an influence on the total price" and that you should be "prepared to make a decision on the day to ensure the process is as smooth as possible".

That means that you'll be encouraged to spend more than the standard £299 on the day, though you should have a good look into exactly what's suitable for you/your child's situation.

With a comprehensive outlook on the options moving forwards, you'll be better equipped to make some important decisions on the day, and won't be leaving with any regrets.

Can i become a model with LUXE Models?

Of course, with modelling there are no guarantees in the industry. I know plenty of people who have become a model on the back of a LUXE Models portfolio. But I'm also aware that plenty of people fall by the wayside.

It is worth looking for the opinions of industry experts, aside from LUXE Models and Kube Studios. With an independent, honest view, you'll have a better idea of the routes to take.
