"I have been a signed model for four years now, and have been given the opportunity to shoot with some amazing local photographers such as A, B, and C. One of my biggest gigs was being flown out to Miami to shoot a music video for an up and coming hip-hop artist. I learned a great deal during that gig and met some incredible people in the industry. I look forward to further developing my portfolio with your agency."

The interviewer would like fuller details on your overall experience in the modeling industry. Bring your expertise to life for the interviewer. Highlight some of the photographers you have worked with, or some of the shows you have walked in. If you are a new model, and just starting your portfolio, discuss who you worked with to build your comp card or tell a story on how you were discovered.

"My interest in modeling started from a young age. I was involved in a Gap Kids fashion show at our local mall when I was just eight years old. I quickly decided modeling was the career for me. Entering into my teens, I was selected to be the face of a local clothing company. I am now in a position to further my portfolio past commercial print work and expand my knowledge of the industry."
