THE PORTFOLIO
• 

Consider building an online photography portfolio, particularly if you
plan to charge for your time. If possible, consider purchasing a domain
name (typically less than $20CDN per year).

• 

Three popular ways to create an online presence are:

1. 

Facebook artist or business page: Although limited to “work-safe”
images, it is a good way to gain visibility and make it easy for models to
find you.

2. 

deviantArt (www.deviantart.com): This site is not limited to work-safe
images and provides an excellent way to network with models. If you
have a paid account, you can use it to create a portfolio site linked to
a domain name.

3. 

Model Mayhem (www.modelmayhem.com): This site specifically
designed for models and photographers. You can display a small
portfolio and potential models can contact you through the site.
