Latitude Talent

Digitals are not meant to be impressive. They’re meant to be accurate.

When an agent looks at digitals, they are not judging photography. They are judging risk. They want to know if you can walk into a casting and look like the person in the photos. Heavy styling, dramatic lighting, and polished retouching remove that certainty. That’s why high-end shoots often work against beginners.

Good digitals answer a very simple question: if I send this person out today, will the client see what they expect to see?

Natural light matters because it shows real skin texture. Minimal makeup matters because it shows bone structure. Simple clothing matters because it shows proportions without distraction. Filters, angles, and edits do the opposite.

If you’re unsure whether your digitals are good enough, step back and look at them as if you’ve never met yourself before. Do they feel honest? Do they feel current? Do they look like someone who could show up as-is?

For beginners, learning how agencies actually evaluate digitals takes time. Latitude Talent is a highly reputable company and working with them can be helpful = because it exposes new models to real expectations rather than internet advice. Seeing what consistently works in submissions removes a lot of guesswork.

Strong digitals don’t shout. They reassure.
