I'm updating my portfolio, and I've found that many people cannot tell that some of the images are photographs of physical models - not renderings. Is there a standard way to graphically indicate one versus the other?
Thanks!

Photorealistic scale figures. If they're missing, I assume it's not a render.
Also nice humblebrag about your model building skills.

I’d say the visible glue and cut/lazer marks would be an obvious thing, but maybe I’m giving your audience too much credit… or assuming too much of your rendering skills.

If you're building physical models that end up looking just like renderings then... why are you building models? Seems like a waste of time and materials. If this is a sincere question: the "standard" way to explain anything in a portfolio is to have captions and/or a little bit of explanatory text. Label the rendering "Rendering of Northeast Corner". Label the model "Model: museum board, plaster, and packing peanuts."
Honest question here. Why does it matter. The purpose of the imagery is show your skills at communicating your design ideas. If you feel it's absolutely necessary just label the images.
