Three distinct looks. One launch portfolio.

Look 1 proves what you actually look like, Look 2 proves you can hold a camera's attention with nothing but yourself, and Look 3 proves you can perform.
How the Three Looks Work Together

Look 01

The Comp Card Set (Polaroid Style)

Reference tone
Comp card close-up, plain grey studio backdrop, white tank top
Comp card full body, white tank top and black trousers
Comp card side profile, minimal styling on grey backdrop
Comp card upper body, honest model digitals
PurposeThis is your working document. Every agency and client needs to see you exactly as you are, with no styling tricks and no filters.
What to expectPlain grey studio backdrop, simple white top and black trousers, minimal makeup. I shoot four angles: a close-up, a full body, a side profile, and an upper body shot.
Why it mattersThis is the industry standard comp card format. It is often the first thing an agency looks at, because it tells them the truth before anything else does.
Look 02

Black and White Fashion Story

Ming Nomchong for Fashion Editorials →
Black and white fashion reference, sculptural tailoring in studio light from Fashion Editorials
Black and white fashion reference, oversized tailoring portrait from Fashion Editorials
Black and white fashion reference, dramatic studio light from Fashion Editorials
Black and white fashion reference, controlled editorial pose from Fashion Editorials
PurposeThis is where I show your range as a fashion model. Minimal, classic, timeless. Black and white strips everything back to bone structure, movement, and presence.
What to expectSculptural tailoring, dramatic studio light, a slower and more editorial pace. This look is about control and stillness.
Why it mattersEditors and casting directors use black and white to judge whether a face and body genuinely hold a frame, without colour or texture doing the work for them.
Look 03

High Fashion Editorial in Colour

References on Cosmos
High fashion colour editorial reference, sculptural tailoring from The PenthouseHigh fashion colour editorial reference, oversized suiting from StandingHigh fashion colour editorial reference, bold knitwear portrait by Ian LantermanHigh fashion colour editorial reference, tailored leather from Zara Spring 2024
PurposeThis is the ambition shot. Modern, high fashion, editorial. It is built to show fashion houses and brands your catwalk potential and your ability to hold a strong, dynamic pose.
What to expectBolder styling, more colour, more movement. Think tailored pieces, sharp lines, and confident, architectural poses rather than soft or passive ones.
Why it mattersThis is the image most likely to catch the eye of a fashion house or campaign client. It needs to say "I can carry a story," not just "I can stand still and look good."

A Few Notes Worth Flagging

No prep beyond the grooming guideThis is about your natural best, not a transformation.
Pacing through the dayI build up from calm and neutral to expressive and dynamic, so you are never asked to jump straight into the hardest look first.
Nothing genericEvery choice of backdrop, styling, and pose direction is picked to answer a specific question an agency or brand will ask about you.
Reference, not prescriptionThe reference galleries show the tone of each look, not the exact shots I will take on the day.
