Field Scenario

A newly signed model’s agency recommends dropping several images and adding new commercial-category content, but the model personally prefers the existing dramatic, editorial-style images.

What You Actually Explain

• Agency input on portfolio direction should generally be taken seriously since agencies see direct market demand
• The agency’s recommendation likely reflects what bookings are actually available right now
• Personal preference still matters, but shouldn’t override practical market-informed guidance entirely
• A balanced approach considers both the agency’s direction and the model’s genuine strengths
