Sup All!!

I know I can do a random search for a photographer, but I'm sitting here and want to see if any of you out there are in the NC area and might want to check out if I could be your next model. I am lacking a portfolio so I would love to be able to work with as many of you as possible to build up a nice one. Let me know if you have any tips or compliments/criticisms...

Do a Browse and find a photographer you like and offer to pay him to do a shoot with you.

Paul is correct. Also, Casting Calls or Introductions would be the thread to post something like this.

no no no, dont offer to pay.  haha, ask for rate quotes form 10 photographers of equal work and work with cheapest.

EDIT-the most reasonable with quality work, sorry kids

there are many average photographers out there with inflated rates.

ask what they charge before you commit to anything.

than look at several models they have shoot and see if they are doing anything worthwhile to see if the investment is worth it

if someone solicts you tell them you are broke, their work probably sucks if they have to solicit.

Good advise

You can't compare guys and gals.  I don't shoot kids or guys TFP.

No offense meant, but I think a good male model can add as much to one's presentation as a female can.
