Chicago Modeling Digitals
By Brandon Andre Partner
Coming soon…
What are modeling digitals?
Modeling digitals are simple, unretouched photos that display your natural appearance to agencies and clients. You'll require them as the foundation of your modeling portfolio because they represent how you look without makeup or styling.
Modeling digitals are one of the most important tools for getting signed by a modeling agency. Whether you're submitting to a top agency or a local one, they all require clean, natural images that show your face, physique, and presence — no heavy makeup, no distractions, just great lighting and simple outfits.
While it's possible to take them on a phone, most models see better results working with a professional photographer who can guide them into the exact poses agencies want to see.

Model Digital FAQs
-
You’ll be working with a trusted By Brandon Andre Partner — a professional photographer who has been hand-selected and trained to shoot digitals in Brandon’s signature style. Every partner follows the same lighting, posing, and quality standards to ensure your digitals match what top agencies expect. After booking, you’ll receive a confirmation email with all the details of your session, including your photographer’s contact info, so you can connect with them in advance if needed.
-
The experience and process are the same — the only difference is location and price. Brandon’s partners offer the same trusted system at a more accessible rate in cities where Brandon isn’t currently shooting. You’ll still receive the same standards, editing workflow, and guidance from Brandon’s team behind the scenes.
-
No — modeling digitals are meant to be raw and natural, exactly how agencies request them. However, you can add the “Digital Selects” option for $15 when booking. With that upgrade, Brandon will personally select the strongest images from your session and lightly enhance them (removing discoloration) for a more polished, agency-ready presentation. If you don’t choose this add-on, you’ll receive all raw, unedited images straight from the camera.
-
If you have a few temporary blemishes, it’s fine — you can wear light concealer if needed. But if you’re experiencing a major breakout, it’s best to reschedule so you can show your skin at its best. Please note: there are no refunds once your session is booked, but you may reschedule once, as long as it’s at least 24 hours in advance.
-
You’re allowed one reschedule as long as you provide at least 24 hours’ notice. Sessions canceled or rescheduled with less than 24 hours' notice may be subject to a rebooking fee. Full details are shared in your confirmation email.
-
Raw images are typically delivered within 48–72 hours after your session. If you add Digital Selects, those will follow shortly after Brandon completes the review and enhancement process.
-
Yes. Brandon has worked closely with every major modeling agency in the world, and his digitals system is trusted across the industry. Every session — whether shot by Brandon or one of his partners — is designed to meet the exact standards agencies look for.

Yes — you can add a 1-on-1 coaching call with Brandon Andre when booking your session.

-
You'll need to update your digitals whenever there's a significant appearance change - like a new haircut, color, weight fluctuation, or simply every 6-12 months. Keeping current digitals is crucial for your career since agencies need to know exactly how you look today. We offer special rates for returning clients who serve the Chicago modeling industry.

More About Chicago, IL
-
Location: Chicago is located on the western shore of Lake Michigan in northeastern Illinois. It serves as the county seat of Cook County and is the most populous city in Illinois. The city is renowned for its architectural landmarks, cultural institutions, and vibrant neighborhoods.
Population: As of 2025, Chicago's population is approximately 2,611,867 residents.
Founded: Chicago was founded on August 12, 1833, with a population of about 350 people. Its strategic location at the southern end of Lake Michigan made it an ideal hub for trade and transportation. The city's early growth was fueled by its role as a commercial center, connecting the Great Lakes to the Illinois River via the Illinois and Michigan Canal.
History: Incorporated as a city in 1837, Chicago was ideally situated to take advantage of the trading possibilities created by the nation's westward expansion. The completion of the Illinois & Michigan Canal in 1848 created a water link between the Great Lakes and the Mississippi River, but the canal was soon rendered obsolete by railroads. Today, 50 percent of U.S. rail freight continues to pass through Chicago, even as the city has become the nation's busiest aviation center, thanks to O’Hare and Midway International airports.
