CURVE POSE CLICK
SUGAR HOUSE ISLAND OR ISLINGTON, LONDON
The Curve Pose Click Portfolio Shoot
The exact photos casting directors ask for, directed shot by shot on location.
Casting directors and commercial brands do not book curve models from heavy glam studio portraits. They book from clean, unretouched digitals and natural location looks that show how clothes move on your body. We give you both: agency-standard photography and live on-set posing direction, in one focused London session.

The reality of curve castings (and why traditional shoots miss the mark)
Across fifteen years developing curve models in the UK, we see two consistent reasons talented women struggle to get booked:
If you are an aspiring curve model:
Commercial makeover studios regularly charge £1,000 or more for full-glam portraits with heavy hair, makeup and airbrushing. When agencies and casting directors review submissions, they move past these in seconds, not because of your potential, but because retouched images conceal your bone structure, skin texture and natural silhouette. Bookers need to see the real, unvarnished you before they can place you on a brief.
If you are already signed or working freelance:
Curves naturally fluctuate with life, fitness and wellness. When you are booked from photographs taken twelve or eighteen months ago and arrive on set with even subtle differences in measurements, clothing samples may not fit. Clients quietly send talent home, the booking fee is lost, and trust with the agency takes a hit. Keeping your digitals current is essential professional maintenance.
In both cases, your ability was never the problem.
The problem is simply presenting photos that do not match how the commercial curve market actually operates, and having nobody on set to coach your angles.
Sunday 20 September or Sunday 11 October 2026
Two days. Two London studios. Six hours each.
Sunday 20 September, Create Destroy Studios, Sugar House Island, London E15. Sunday 11 October, Islington Studios, Marlborough Road, London N19.
What you get on set: the two essential assets bookers require
Most general photographers expect you to arrive knowing your best angles, your light and how to pose for curve fashion. If you feel hesitant or unsure where to place your hands and hips, that uncertainty translates directly onto camera.
We design this shoot around the two specific assets top UK curve agencies and commercial clients require, accompanied by live, step-by-step posing direction throughout your session:
1. Agency-Spec Digitals (Your Natural Baseline)
Clean, daylight-balanced, unretouched photographs showing your headshot, profile, three-quarter and full-length proportions honestly. This is the first verification check every casting director, agency and commercial client makes.
2. Commercial and Lifestyle Looks (Your On-Location Performance)
Styled outdoor frames shot on location around the studio that demonstrate your ability to carry clothing with ease, natural movement and confident commercial appeal.
We have partnered with an experienced professional photographer for the day.
If you have never stood in front of a professional camera before, that is the expected starting point. You are coached shot by shot on posture, angles and expression the entire time.
Never done this before
You are directed shot by shot, the whole way.
If you have never stood in front of a professional camera, that is the normal starting point here.
Clear boundaries: what this portfolio shoot is and is not
Let's be completely transparent with you:
- Model Development is the dedicated training and portfolio division of Ms Curvaceous UK. This shoot day is designed to build your commercial portfolio, not as a hidden agency audition.
- Booking a session gives you professional casting assets and live direction. It is not an application for representation, and does not guarantee work with us or any other agency.
- Agency applications are, and will always be, completely free. You can apply for representation with Ms Curvaceous UK at any time, whether you shoot with us or not.
- Our goal is to see you succeed in this industry. If you ask us on the day, we are glad to share which reputable UK agencies are currently accepting curve applications at no cost.
Why we structure the day in modular sessions
Organising an independent portfolio shoot means sourcing a trustworthy photographer (£300 to £600), hiring studio space (£150 to £300), arranging makeup, and managing logistics on your own, all without knowing whether the resulting images match casting requirements.
By hosting a dedicated shoot day with our production team, we remove the guesswork and financial waste. You choose only the sessions you genuinely need: if digitals are all your portfolio is missing, you book that single session and nothing more.
Ms Curvaceous UK
You choose what each session is.
Take your digitals, take a styled look, or take both. Mix them however your portfolio needs.
Choose Your Sessions
You book sessions, and you choose what each session is. Select agency digitals, a curated styled look, or both. Customise your booking to match exactly what your portfolio requires.
Agency Digitals Session (Natural Baseline)
The foundational set that agencies, casting directors, fashion brands and runway bookers require before considering any model. Six unretouched images shot against a clean background under true-to-life studio light.
- Headshot straight to camera, neutral expression.
- Headshot smiling.
- Profile, showing your facial structure cleanly.
- Three quarter length, front.
- Full length front and back, displaying proportions honestly.
- Hair simple, natural minimal makeup, plain fitted clothing.
- 6 unretouched images delivered to industry submission standard.
Digitals are photographed with natural, self-applied makeup. We provide clear preparation guidelines beforehand so you know exactly how to prep.
Styled Commercial Look Session (On-Location Performance)
One curated styled look shot on location around the studio. Choose the commercial category you want to be booked for, whether that is everyday lifestyle, activewear or contemporary high street.
Yours is shot on location around the studio, at full length and half length.
- One styled look, yours to choose.
- Full length and half length compositions for that look.
- 3 professionally retouched commercial images.
- Outdoor architectural settings around the studio (or indoors if the styling requires).
Most models choose commercial and lifestyle, the everyday high street look that commands the highest volume of UK bookings. Activewear and occasionwear also work exceptionally well outdoors and represent active curve casting categories. Bring what aligns with your booking goals.
Commercial and lifestyle
Activewear
Occasionwear
Add a professional makeup artist for your styled look if you would like one.
Strictly limited to 12 look sessions across the day.
Transparent Session Pricing
(Book 1 session for £80, 2 sessions for £150 (covering digitals plus your core styled look), or 3 sessions for £220. Flexible interest-free instalment options available via Klarna, Clearpay or PayPal.)
Whether you select digitals or a styled look, the session price is identical. Look sessions are strictly limited to 12 across the entire day to ensure generous shooting time and natural daylight for every woman. Digitals sessions take place indoors throughout the day.
If you are new to modelling or your current images are older than six months, begin with the digitals session. It is the prerequisite for every legitimate casting submission in the UK.
What is included in your investment
Clear, all-inclusive pricing with zero hidden costs.
- Your session rate covers your camera time, live on-set posing direction, and your final image selections with all edits included.
- Every booking includes your pre-shoot styling and prep guide, personal practice feedback on your current photos, and our on-set monitor review.
- Digitals are photographed with fresh, natural makeup you apply yourself (we provide a step-by-step preparation guide beforehand), so no makeup add-on is required.
- No studio hire charges, no licensing surcharges, and nothing extra to pay after the shoot.
Optional additions (only if you choose them)
- An extra session on the day: £70 if timetable and daylight allow (useful if you booked looks and decide on the day to add digitals).
- Professional makeup artist for your styled look: £50 per face. Booked alongside your session, confirmed one week prior, and refunded in full if an artist cannot be scheduled.
That is the complete list.
