Hello Models and Parents of Models! Below are samples of closeup modeling headshot work I was hired to do for local professional fashion and commercial models as well as aspiring professional models. Agencies and clients expect a certain standard in terms of the quality of images and presentation. Jamil Gotcher’s former career as a professional high fashion model brings firsthand experience and insight into the industry's expectations, styles, and trends for your modeling headshots.

Do you want to be taken seriously as a professional model in the modeling and fashion industry? Then you will need professional modeling headshots and a professional modeling portfolio. All professional models have professional modeling headshots and a professional portfolio. You shouldn’t just go to any photographer for your professional modeling headshots. I was not only a professional high fashion model for 15 years, I’m now a professional photographer just like my Dad (an award winning commercial photographer based out of Tulsa for over 30 years). I enjoy photographing models because my professional modeling career expertise helps aspiring models and also professional models.
I remember what it was like to be a new model and not knowing how to move in front of the camera. It makes you feel awkward and slightly embarrassed but it’s OKAY because that’s why you need me to help you. A big part of my modeling photoshoots is helping new models learn how to model by directing them how to move, pose and emote for the camera. Very few people are naturally great in front of the camera, most people feel a little intimidated by the lights, the professional studio environment and the big camera with the long lens and they also don’t know what to do once they step out on set. Once you meet me you will realize that just because I’ve modeled in Paris, Milan, New York and Tokyo that I’m still just a down to earth Oklahoma girl and I genuinely want to help you become a professional model. Aspiring models do know what to do when they step out on the photoshoot set. After a photoshoot with me, you will become more confident the next time you step out on a photoshoot set, whether it’s to update your portfolio or for an actual modeling job!
