Why do TFCD or PFT (work for time)?
If you, the model, are in the process of building a portfolio, working for time will enable you to have work from different photographers in your portfolio. This will allow you to demonstrate your versatility as a model. It can also save you money.
Time for CD, time for download and prints for time seems to work best for (aspiring) models, who are committed to their work and who are able to express a photographer's and their own ideas.
It is difficult to produce good photographs if you think that modelling only involves standing around and having your photograph taken.
It is important for you to realise that the photographer, too, wants to get something out of a for time shoot. The purpose of a for time shoot is not just to provide you with free photographs for your portfolio. The photographer will expect you to take the shoot seriously. Give it your best.
