Although this is more of a profile, your resume could include a bibliography of the magazines you were published in (make some up- i doubt they'll check. If you said "published in metal hammer magazine, septemeber 2007", they won't bust you), the model shoots you had, the bands you've done, the websites your pictures appear on... everything.

Don't overplay your experience.
Always be honest with a potential employer, especially if it is on a career track where the industry is small, and your name gets around fast.
Still photography, and motion picture are small industries. Believe me, your name will travel among the important people if you are good enough, willing enough, hungry enough, timely, reliable, and under budget.
Just find a resume, any resume, and use it as a template.
Don't fictionalize your experience, show only your strengths and experiences, add a cover letter that is a one page introduction of yourself touching on your short term and long term goals.
And if I were you, I would add a contact sheet of your work, not a whole portfolio.
It's not brain surgery.
