1. Professional Photogenic Presentation
Your pageant portfolio should only showcase your best photographs which should be a variety of modeling photos that include natural, and glamour, and also live shots. Your ‘natural photos’ should capture you in natural everyday settings, indoors and out of doors, dressed in everyday attire such as casual wear, school wear, swimwear, etc. 

Your ‘glamour photos’ should show you in makeup, wearing everything from formal wear, to an assortment of eye catching costumes such as, Pro-Am wear, swimwear, dance wear, etc. Your ‘live photos’ (stage shots) are also very important and should capture you participating in pageants as this will show a visual representation of your participation in pageantry.

Including such photos will also demonstrate to the viewer that you can stretch your boundaries and also show that you would be suitable for other jobs in the entertainment industry.

Photo-backers are a contestants decorative identification label and are essentially used to show personality and professionalism in pageant photogenic competitions. 

Photo-backers typically show a smaller copy of the contestants photogenic entry photo, along with her name and age, and are placed in a protective sleeve behind her 10x8 size photogenic entry picture. Some contestants swear by their photo-backers.

 Not only do they look much better than a plain piece of paper just showing the contestant's name and age, but a photo-backer will catch the Judges' attention, and therefore help a contestant stand out from the rest.

2. PHOTOS TO INCLUDE
Photo's need to showcase your accomplishments as well as an indication of your ability to handle other jobs in the entertainment industry, such as modeling, dancing, singing and even public speaking to name a few.

 You should always keep your portfolio up to date and at hand. Always take it with you to pageants, or dance competitions etc, as there may be talent scouts in the audience on the lookout for new talent, models, etc

Classic Head Shot: Begin your photography section with a classic head shot. This will allow those looking at your portfolio to see how you present yourself in a pageant. Choose hair and cosmetics that are pageant-appropriate and that showcase your best facial features. Use a black, white or brown background so the focus of your photo is solely on your face. If you have tiaras from previous pageant titles, wear one in the photo to demonstrate your experience in pageants.

Formal Dress Shot: Showcase the best of your evening gowns or cupcake dresses by featuring a photo that displays you in your most formal attire.

This photo needs to be a full-length shot so the dress is seen in its entirety. Including a formal dress photo may demonstrate to the judges that you have the necessary wardrobe and sense of style to compete in large pageants.


Charity Work Photo Page: You should demonstrate your voluntary work with photos of yourself doing charity work. Include a few candid photos of yourself working and talking with those you are helping.

Instead of the traditional 8x10 size that is seen with the classic head shot and formal dress picture, create a page that features two or three 4x6 photos of your charity work. Include a brief summary of what charities you are involved in and why they matter to you.

Through the Years Page: If you have been in pageants from your early years to your teen years, include a ‘Through the Years’ page in your portfolio. Place small photos of yourself from each age you were in pageants. 

Put them on the page in chronological order so judges can see your growth. Include a small summary about the pageants that meant the most to you and why.
