Photogenic is a model marketing tool that can be used by models to market themselves. We do not market you, but help you market yourself better. The portfolio hosting service at Photogenic is its core strength. It provides models with a readymade interface whose URL/web address/link they can forward to modeling agencies, model coordinators and photographers.

No, Photogenic is not a Modeling Agency.

No, Photogenic does not represent you as an agent, manager or coordinator.

Yes, Photogenic is open to aspiring models and well as professional models.

You can upload and manage the portfolio on behalf of your child. Young models are also welcome to join Photogenic. However, minors need the consent of their parents/guardian to use Photogenic services. Such consent must be sent to us in writing, duly signed by the parent/guardian. Please send all consent to our postal address provided in the contact section.

The idea of using Photogenic is that you do not have to flood the inbox of modeling agencies, model coordinators, stylists and photographers with your portfolio pictures. After you have uploaded your images to your account at Photogenic and filled in your complete profile all you need to do is send one picture along with your email and include your Photogenic portfolio link in the email. Your prospective clients get an idea of what you look like and know where to see more pictures of you.

Good looks are complimented by a good portfolio and a good portfolio is complimented by a good presentation. We believe that looks matter and offer an attractive Flash based photo gallery where you can display your portfolio photographs. Unlike other online portfolio hosting services, Photogenic makes a dedicated micro-site for you where your pictures and profile take priority over other things. We do not display advertisements, site navigation or link to other models on your pages. It's exclusively for you. This adds a lot of character and personality to the presentation of your pictures. Basically it looks sexy. See a Demo of what your portfolio will look like.
