I am a new asian model looking to build port
Hello, I am new to the modeling world. I am interested in commercial and creative and fitness shoots. How shall i go about finding reliable photographers to help me build a port.

In terms of finding photographers, use the browse feature (2nd button from the left on the tool bar above) and send a short introductory PM to photographers whose work interests you. Do this regularly, at least 4 or 5 PMs a day. Also, use the casting/travel button (3rd from left) to respond to casting calls by photographers and to post your own casting calls and availability notices. And if you ever get to New York, drop me a line. I'd love to do a portfolio shoot with you. Welcome and enjoy the Mayhem!

This is for when you want to charge money. You can offer trade as well. Search for Casting Calls in your area based on criteria you select.

Start a list of photographer's photos that you think are top notch for photographers in your area. This can become something of a Rolodex. Make sure that you select the Advanced Options and select an appropriate Logged in within:. I typically use 30 days, but you may want people who respond faster. Otherwise you will get photographers who haven't logged in in over a year. There are a lot of inactive accounts. Make an announcemnet. Look on the front page for members offering comments for comments, and comment on their photos. Also make an announcement yourself. Post a bulletin by going to My stuff > bulletins. Friends can see the bulletins you post. Be active in the forums, but avoid trolls who start threads just to watch the ensuing flame war. Avoid threads that beat the  over GWC's, flakes, escorts, ..., etc. Make positive constructive comments. Whenever you get published, add some new photos, or accomplish anything in general, post an announcement in the Accomplishments, Achievements and High Fives forum. When people see your forum post the first thing they see is your avatar. It has to be interesting enough for them to want to click on it and look at your portfolio. Share your other accounts on the Social Media User Name Sharing Thread. Rinse and repeat. Good luck in your search!
