Five similar portraits reveal less than five images with different jobs. The Pola editor requires exactly five photographs.</description></item><item><title>Comp card size and format: PNG, PDF and submission</title><link>https://usepola.com/en/journal/comp-card-size-format/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://usepola.com/en/journal/comp-card-size-format/</guid><pubDate>Sat, 03 Oct 2026 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><description>Choose comp-card dimensions from the recipient’s requirements. Pola currently exports a 1600 × 1050 pixel PNG; PDF and print ordering are not available. Pixel dimensions do not define a universal physical card size.</description></item><item><title>Digitals, model tests and comp cards: what is the difference?</title><link>https://usepola.com/en/journal/digitals-vs-model-tests/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://usepola.com/en/journal/digitals-vs-model-tests/</guid><pubDate>Sat, 03 Oct 2026 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><description>Digitals show current appearance, model tests explore presentation range, and a comp card brings photographs and details into a short overview. One does not replace another when a recipient explicitly requests a particular set.</description></item><item><title>Model digitals: what they are and which photos to prepare</title><link>https://usepola.com/en/journal/model-digitals/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://usepola.com/en/journal/model-digitals/</guid><pubDate>Fri, 02 Oct 2026 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><description>Digitals, snapshots and model polaroids describe a simple series showing your current appearance. Clear angles and recent photographs matter more than elaborate lighting or styling.</description></item><item><title>How to take model digitals at home with a phone</title><link>https://usepola.com/en/journal/digitals-at-home/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://usepola.com/en/journal/digitals-at-home/</guid><pubDate>Fri, 02 Oct 2026 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><description>A home shoot works best when the conditions are easy to repeat. Find a clear wall, even daylight and someone who can help keep the camera steady.</description></item><item><title>Male model digitals: prepare and select your angles</title><link>https://usepola.com/en/journal/male-model-digitals/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://usepola.com/en/journal/male-model-digitals/</guid><pubDate>Fri, 02 Oct 2026 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><description>Male digitals use the same principle: show the face, profile and silhouette clearly. Follow the agency’s brief rather than an idea of a universally ideal male appearance.</description></item><item><title>Female model digitals: face, silhouette and a calm presentation</title><link>https://usepola.com/en/journal/female-model-digitals/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://usepola.com/en/journal/female-model-digitals/</guid><pubDate>Fri, 02 Oct 2026 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><description>A clear series shows you without elaborate styling. It is not a beauty score: its purpose is to give an application reviewer useful, current information.</description></item><item><title>Model comp card: photographs, measurements and layout</title><link>https://usepola.com/en/journal/model-comp-card/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://usepola.com/en/journal/model-comp-card/</guid><pubDate>Fri, 02 Oct 2026 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><description>A comp card is a compact introduction to a model. You may also see composite card, zed card or the German term Sedcard. It brings together photographs, essential measurements and a professional contact.</description></item><item><title>Build a model portfolio that communicates range</title><link>https://usepola.com/en/journal/model-portfolio/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://usepola.com/en/journal/model-portfolio/</guid><pubDate>Fri, 02 Oct 2026 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><description>A portfolio improves when every spread answers a question. What does this photograph reveal? Which direction does it show? Which brief could it help a reviewer imagine?</description></item><item><title>Model test shoots: plan a series for your book</title><link>https://usepola.com/en/journal/model-test-shoot/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://usepola.com/en/journal/model-test-shoot/</guid><pubDate>Fri, 02 Oct 2026 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><description>A model test explores presentation without a complete commercial campaign. Its value depends on a specific goal and clear agreements with the team.</description></item><item><title>AI fashion photoshoots: where concepts help a model portfolio</title><link>https://usepola.com/en/journal/ai-fashion-portfolio/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://usepola.com/en/journal/ai-fashion-portfolio/</guid><pubDate>Fri, 02 Oct 2026 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><description>An AI fashion series can be a visual hypothesis: explore different clothing, light and expression before a real shoot. Keep the material’s role clear.</description></item><item><title>How to apply to a modeling agency</title><link>https://usepola.com/en/journal/apply-to-model-agency/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://usepola.com/en/journal/apply-to-model-agency/</guid><pubDate>Fri, 02 Oct 2026 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><description>Start with the agency’s official website and submission form. A concise set adapted to the recipient’s requirements is more useful than sending every photograph to everyone.</description></item><item><title>Child model portfolios: a checklist for parents</title><link>https://usepola.com/en/journal/children-modeling-parents/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://usepola.com/en/journal/children-modeling-parents/</guid><pubDate>Fri, 02 Oct 2026 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><description>A parent or legal guardian should manage a minor’s applications, contacts and agreements. Start with an agency’s actual age rules rather than earnings promises.</description></item><item><title>Modeling in China: prepare your materials and questions</title><link>https://usepola.com/en/journal/modeling-in-china/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://usepola.com/en/journal/modeling-in-china/</guid><pubDate>Fri, 02 Oct 2026 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><description>Agency materials and permission to work in a country are separate questions. A clear book supports an introduction but does not replace reviewing the host, contract and documents.</description></item><item><title>Model directions: show editorial, beauty and tailoring</title><link>https://usepola.com/en/journal/editorial-model-directions/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://usepola.com/en/journal/editorial-model-directions/</guid><pubDate>Fri, 02 Oct 2026 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><description>Treat a direction as a way of responding to a brief. One person can work across several moods; a fixed face score says little about expression in front of a camera.</description></item></channel></rss>
