A comp card is a single card with a model’s best images, measurements and contact details. It is the physical shorthand of a portfolio and still standard in casting. The format is fixed by convention: one headshot on the front, three or four varied shots on the back, statistics down the side. Its usefulness is that it is impossible to pad.
