Q: Do I need a stylist for a portfolio shoot?

A: Absolutely! A stylist is someone who works in the industry and knows the types of looks you need for a portfolio shoot. They have relationships with modeling agencies and photographers and can help bring your portfolio to the next level. I know it sounds easy to put looks together but trust me, a stylist can make all the difference in the world.
