Portfolio Networking Blues - POSTED APRIL 2006.

Hi there! I’m Samantha, and I am a new model looking for TFP to build my modeling portfolio and modeling web sites to join. Can you help me by recommending photographers and web sites?
-Samantha

Hi there, Samantha.
I have an answer for you. It’s no.
Do yourself a favor and invest money in the portfolio pictures that you need for your career. You will save a lot of headaches and time. Would you trust a doctor or a restaurant of they offered you anything for free? Of course not! You would justifiably wonder what the catch was. Even if there was no catch, can you honestly say that you would respect what they gave you even if it was good? Stop, think, and realize that there are no shortcuts that will not ultimately cost you more in the long-run. You cannot cheat your way into anything that is worthwhile.
As for portfolio networking sites, don’t bother. They are filled with TFP photographers, pornographers, con artists, and aspiring models looking for a free ride into a competitive modeling industry. You only get out of something what you put into it, and there are so few genuine professionals on such sites that it isn’t worth the bother to try to weed them out. Look for a professional photographer or photography company with a professional web site. Those are the same photographers who charge reasonable rates for photography services, and they can actually HELP you with your modeling career. For suggested fair rates, see RATES.
