It all started 7 years ago when my brother @justzody.3pv convinced me to do my first ever photoshoot and I just kept going from there. I remember being super nervous. I didn’t know how to pose or feel comfortable in front of the camera. But I’m grateful for my brother. He broke me out of my shell that day and I haven’t stopped since. And to my sissy @_yuli for letting me borrow her clothes because I did not know what style was back then 🤣💗 I continued my journey by collaborating with other photographers in my area to build my portfolio. Here are a few ways to find photographers to help build your portfolio: ✅ Facebook Groups: By searching ‘(Your location) photography/model groups’ you’ll be able to join creative groups in your area. This is a great way to connect with aspiring photographers who are open to TFP (Time for Print). Every once in awhile there will be paid opportunities posted, as well. But remember, you’ll have a better chance at getting accepted if you have a strong portfolio. ✅ Instagram Hashtags: searching ‘#(yourlocation)photographer)’ will give you a great look at the photographers in your area. Most photographers post their best work on social media, so you will be able to gage if they will be a good match or not. ✅ Networking Events: Attend photography meetups, workshops, or networking events in your local area. These gatherings are excellent opportunities to meet photographers and discuss potential collaborations. ✅ Ask for Recommendations: Reach out to friends or acquaintances who may know photographers or have worked with them in the past. Personal recommendations can be valuable. Remember to do your research and communicate clearly about your goals, expectations, and the style of photography you’re interested in to find a photographer who aligns with your vision. Building a strong portfolio often involves working with a variety of photographers to showcase your versatility.
