Why a Comp Card Is Non-Negotiable

A comp card is the actual first deliverable nearly every agency requires before signing a model, and the format has stayed remarkably consistent across the industry for decades because it lets agencies and clients evaluate a model quickly and compare candidates on equal footing.

Portfolio vs. Comp Card: Two Different Tools

A portfolio is a broader, more complete collection of a model’s best work, often shown digitally or in a physical book; a comp card is a condensed, printed summary distilled from that portfolio — both matter, but they serve different purposes at different stages of a booking process.
