Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:

Find a photographer in your area willing to do TPF (time for prints) - there are usually quite a few of them!. You trade the use of your pics for their time in taking your pics and use for your portfolio!.

Just make sure you check out the photographer first - aske for references from other models they've worked with and CALL THEM!. also, ask to see some of the photographers recent work (their portfolio) and make sure you like the style and way the photog does things!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

You can try a place like www!.modelmayhem!.com

It is a site for aspiring and professional models and photographers!. You can keep a portfolio of your work on the site!. It also has industry forums that let you ask questions of more seasoned models!. It is also free!

One advantage is that there are plenty of photographers in a similar situation to you, and they are looking for a model to practice their photography!. It is good place to get some time in front of a camera!.

Good Luck!

Look for continuing education at one of your local colleges they usually teach a photography course and like the other poster said they will be looking for models to shoot for free more then likely as long as you let them use your picture in their portfolio!.
