Screenshots and Production Stills
Screenshots and production stills can be used in modelling-based online reality games, usually as a last resort because generally, they are frowned upon due to their lack of photo quality and modelling quality, and very often, they lack a fashion appeal.
Screenshot versus Production Still:
What is a screenshot and what is a production still? A screenshot is simply a picture of a screen, or a capture of a single frame in a film or television series. A production still is a photograph that a crew member has taken on the set of a film or television series. The image quality is usually better in production stills.

Most judges acknowledge sometimes contestants have a limited portfolio, and need to use a screenshot or a production still. It is a good idea to search for a production still over a screenshot. The quality in those is usually better, and there's sometimes a bit of modelling or fashion quality content in there.
Using a Screenshot:

I gave Soulless Gingers and impromptu teach on screenshots last panel. The best way I can show you the difference between a good and a bad screenshot is with these two screenshots. Both are of the exact same frame, but as you can see, one of them is smaller, and worse quality. The other is of much better quality. Though you can still tell it's a screenshot, it does have the potential to have a great callout.
Using a Production Still:
Using these production stills from The Devil Wears Prada, we can see that Emily Blunt's photo quality and fashion quality are extremely high. This could go rather for a "fashion style" shoot. It is missing a modelling flair, but early in the competition, you would go well.
Meryl Streep and Anne Hathaway demonstrate a picture that would go very well in a "couples" or "power" based photoshoot, if you were playing as Meryl Streep. Meryl's fashion sense, the image quality and her modelling are all of high calibre here, and she definitely outshines Anne. You would very likely have to find a way to get rid of "The Devil Wears Prada", but if you could, this could get you a very high callout.
