Leave a long-lasting impression.
A successful fitness modeling portfolio consists of imagery of the same high quality as advertising campaigns from leading athletic brands like Nike, Under Armour, and Reebok. AEFM International requires your photographic portfolio to be of the same high standard.
Many of the standard fitness modeling shots are pretty similar, but they can be changed up considerably to produce some truly stunning results. To achieve this level of professionalism, you, the fitness model, must have a dynamic portfolio. This will contain a range of perfectly executed shots, with dramatic angles and lighting which will carve out your physique and accentuate your physical skill as well as the cut and fit of the featured garment.
Fitness modeling is a unique genre and there is never going to be one exact ‘look’ or ‘type’ that every brand or company will desire. Therefore, your portfolio should effectively reflect the versatility of your fitness specialties, talents, and poses to maximise your broad appeal so you will be considered for a particular booking.
The combined result of your look, style, and movement, and the techniques employed by our photographers, will be a beautiful portfolio demonstrating the very best of what you have to offer.
We aim to make your first professional fitness portfolio shoot an enjoyable and inspiring experience. With expert guidance from hand-selected photographers.
Getting in front of the camera can be intimidating, so our photographer will be there to help you feel relaxed and comfortable, and guide you on how to pose and move. Even though you are there to work, it should be a positively challenging experience where you will learn lots about the modeling aspect of the job and how to create that perfect moment. A flexible attitude and a willingness to experiment with different looks will help our photographer get the most out of you on the day.
We have partnered with some of the best photographers Australia has to offer. Our photographers are hand-picked for their professionalism, timely production, and clear communication. An image that accurately represents you and the sport you play, will create a positive, long-lasting impression, which is essential for winning an assignment. They are on hand and ready to travel to a mutual location or studio.
By purchasing our portfolio photo shoot, you are not only purchasing professional images, and video content of yourself, but also the usage rights over these images. Usage rights are the most important asset. We have negotiated usage rights on your behalf with the photographer. This means that we will receive, both high and low-resolution images, video footage, and polaroids, free from any watermarks, and more importantly with no constraints as to where we are able to market ourselves across all platforms.

$1320 Inc. GST
During your portfolio shoot, you will be required to film a 30-second introduction clip giving insight into your sporting background and prior modeling experience. This seemingly brief segment holds significant weight in the eyes of creative ad and casting agents.
Prioritising this clip allows us to streamline the casting process, as it provides a glimpse of your charisma and on-camera presence before the actual casting in person.
By presenting this introductory snippet alongside your portfolio, we not only showcase your physical attributes but also offer a deeper understanding of your personality and how you engage with the camera. This multifaceted approach not only saves valuable time for agents but also ensures that your potential as a model is fully realised and appreciated.
Don’t worry if it’s your first shoot; our photographers are great at making newcomers feel comfortable. They’ll take the time to explain and demonstrate what they’re looking for, guiding you through each pose and expression step by step.
By the end of the shoot, you’ll not only have captured fantastic shots but also gained valuable experience and confidence in front of the camera. This newfound comfort and knowledge will serve as a solid foundation as you continue to pursue your career in fitness modeling.
A professional portfolio is essential for several reasons. First, as an agency, we need to see how you perform in front of the camera. The feedback from our trusted photographers helps us accurately assess your potential and showcase your best qualities. Second, we have established agreements with our photographers, meaning there are no copyright issues with your images. This allows us to market you confidently and maximize your exposure to potential clients.
The onboarding process includes selecting a mood board for your shoot and uploading images of the outfits you plan to wear. This ensures a well-prepared and professional portfolio that aligns with industry standards.
