You know!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.it's not necessary to capitalize the letter "a" when used as an indefinite article, as in!.!.!.!.!."I want to work on a portfolio", etc!., etc!.!.!.

I can't imagine you making a good photographer if you find this sort of simple grammar hard to grasp, to be honest with you!.

To answer your question, it is not always necessary to pay models to develop your portfolio!. You could always offer the finished images for their time, if cost is of concern!. This is known as TFP, or TFCD (time for prints, time for CD)!. Many aspiring models work this way!. You can create a profile on onemodelplace, or put out an ad on your local craigslist!.org online classifieds!. Introduce yourself as an aspiring photographer looking for models for portfolio development, compensation to be TFP or TFCD!. Or!.!.!.!.!.you could just pay a models going rate (you just have to ask one), I wouldn't!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Many beginning models and photogs do pics for trade!. This means they get to keep the pics and you shoot!. A good model can get 1500!.00 per shoot and a good photog can make more!. Develop your skills and always be professional!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
