Digitals (also known as polaroids) are simple, unedited photos that aspiring models use to showcase their natural look to agencies, clients, or casting directors. They highlight the model’s raw potential by capturing their face, body, and features without makeup, filters, or heavy styling. Typically, digitals include:
- Basic Poses: Front, side, and back views to show proportions.
- Close-Up and Full-Length Shots: To emphasize the model’s versatility.
- Minimal Styling: Natural hair, little to no makeup, and plain clothing (like a fitted tank top and jeans or swimwear).
These photos are essential in the modeling industry, as they help professionals assess how a model might look in various settings, ensuring the focus is entirely on the model’s natural attributes.
