TFCD and how to become a model with Wolf's Models Guide, a photographer's resource guide for aspiring models

Freelance models

A freelance model is not signed up with an agency and will advertise her or his services to potential clients (usually photographers) directly.

This approach is suited to casual or part-time modelling. As a freelance model, you will not find work in the fashion industry or with the glossy magazines.

To advertise yourself to photographers, you can place adverts in some of the photography magazines aimed at amateur photographers, you can send out comp cards to professional photographers or you can use the Internet. You may have your own website or you may show your portfolio on one of the reputable modelling sites, such as onemodelplace.com or musecube.com.

If you want to become a freelance model, you will need a portfolio.
