THE PHOTOGRAPHER
Shoot With Daring Leaderman — @ishootdopepics
Your portfolio is your first impression — and Daring has spent more than two decades making first impressions unforgettable. A glamour photographer with publishing, editor, and television credits, and the owner of Influencer Model Group and 360ism Studios in Richmond, VA, Daring has built books for brand-new faces and rebranded working pros alike.
Every Portfolio Build session is shot and directed by Daring personally — lighting and posing included, and styling (wardrobe, hair/MUA options) available.
- 20+ years shooting glamour & editorial
- Publishing & magazine editor credits
- Television credits
- Owner of IMG & 360ism Studios
Built for Every Stage of Your Career
New, aspiring, or established — the session is built around where you are and where you want your look to go. Pick the one closest to you on the form; the number of looks, setups and finished images is decided with Daring in your style consult, and your quote comes from that.
New Models
No portfolio yet? Start right. Your first book gets built from zero — the clean, agency-ready looks casting directors and clients expect, with posing direction the whole way so you feel confident on set.
- Headshot, full-length and signature glamour looks
- Studio lighting on a magazine-style set
- Comp-card and Instagram crops
Aspiring & Developing
You’ve shot before, but your book has gaps. Daring audits what you have, then shoots the missing looks — stronger, current images that raise your rate and expand your range.
- Review of your existing book before the shoot
- Swim, lingerie, editorial and creative looks as needed
- Guidance on re-sequencing your book
Established & Rebranding
Changing your market, style, or image? Rebrand your entire look with a fresh, editorial-grade set that repositions you — without losing what already works.
- Multiple setups, studio and location
- Hair & makeup coordinated
- New comp card layout
How pricing works
Daring doesn’t sell packages by the hour, because no two portfolios need the same thing. Send the form, have the style consult, and you’ll get a quote built around your goals, your looks and what your book needs. Nothing is charged until you approve it.

Questions Before You Book?
Every build is quoted individually after the style consult, based on how many looks, setups and finished images your book needs. Send the form and Daring will walk you through it; there’s no obligation until you approve the quote.
You’ll get a prep sheet after the style consult. The basics: well-fitting wardrobe in solid colors, nails done, skin moisturized and a good night’s sleep. Bring everything we agreed on plus one or two wild cards.
Hair and makeup can be coordinated for any build and is quoted with it. You’re also welcome to bring your own artist.
You receive a license to use your images for your portfolio, social media, comp cards and submissions to agencies and publications. Commercial licensing for brands is quoted separately.
Short motion clips can be added to any session and are edited for Instagram Reels and TikTok. Tick “Video reels and motion” on the form and it’ll be included in your quote.
A retainer holds your date and comes off your quoted total. The amount and the reschedule terms come with your quote.
Start Your Portfolio Build
