One of the challenging aspects for aspiring models and actors is presenting themselves professionally to hiring agencies, casting directors and model coordinators.
Comp cards are the professional tool for exactly that purpose.
In the most basic language, a comp card (a.k.a. Zed card & Sed card) is a printed sheet that showcases 5-6 best portfolio photographs of the model, along with his / her vital statistics and full name.
Contact details of model / actor are not displayed, as the modeling agency will not be able to use them.
Modeling agencies always add their contact details in the comp card and share with their clients for portfolio shoots, product shoots as well as for television and web serials.
