Ok..am here for some time and tried contacting many photographers :saint: to help me with a decent :cool: profile building...

unfortunately the ones with tfp/tfcd written in their profile either don't answer :dunno: or some who do turn out to be indecent :angry: or some say they r no longer doing tfp anymore :doh: and slam comes the charges that one can't afford...sigh :( now obviously agencies won't accept one with no professional shots / profile--did try but again some were charging for profile build up :(

am not complaining about the charges--hey a photographer also needs to earn but where can I actually get one that is willing to do it for tfp / tfcd for real?

Dear Payal, I do it here but I know its a lot distance to come Istanbul, Turkey. :saint: I believe you can find one photographer close to you. Good Luck!

If they are no longer doing tfp/tfcd they should update their info & remove it:thumbup:

We do the free tfp/tfcd for real but most of us only do it on a relativly local basis, sometimes further away in our own country...
If however we travel, even though we are on holiday we can take up tfcd work on location if we choose to but that's up to the individual photographer & also depends on where one of us is traveling to or through:thumbup:

I'm further away than Ozkan is so not much chance I'd be able to jet over either.

Thanks Ozkan n Gaz for ur replies---well if u do happen to travel here in the future--just let me know :D

If we were to go further than local then it would cost us for either petrol or bus/train fares, plane or ferry fares... then we would be doing free shoots at our own loss:doh:

Sometimes it can help aspiring models to be on more than just than just the one of these sites at the same time, in some parts of the world there's not many photographers around anywhere will shoot you for free, depends where you live & if modeling & fashion are common place in your country... if there's a good number of fashion magazines based in your country & plenty fashion show's held in your country there's a good chance there is photographers somewhere that will shoot you for free, where is the question though:dunno:

Keep your profile here but open up a profile on other sites too:thumbup:

Hello Payal;
Too bad your having such a hard time finding a professional photographer. YES, as those above have stated, TFP/TFCD does exist. The trick is to find a Professional Photographer who is in need of up-dating their portfolio also. You have nothing to lose by calling photographers out of your local phone directory and asking. Also, you might want to try to make contact with other Jurgita models in your area and see if they'll tell you who they used. You might also try another large city that you can travel to. (I've gone over 200 miles) These bumps on the road to fame and stardom are the things that add to our mettle. Accept the challenge and overcome them.:):muscle::)
Good Luck!

I enjoy shooting TF projects and sometime I offer to help models with little to no experience. I get to try new techniques and ideas without pressure and the model get pro pics for trade - to me it's a win-win deal.

thanks all for ur replies-really appreciate it! :)

" Also, you might want to try to make contact with other Jurgita models in your area and see if they'll tell you who they used."

thanks Juan--willl try n do that n see how it goes :)

here is an update guys... good news---tfcd/tfp is out there for real :pleased:

managed to contact two amazing local photographers :saint: :saint: and went for outdoor photo shooting sessions :D

am waiting for the photos and will keep ya all posted when its ready...btw I already posted one as my main profile pic :cool:

Thats the good news Payal! :thumbup:

Glad you found a few. There are many out there, just sometimes hard to find. I've done half a dozen or so this summer. Helpful tip: E-mail with photo or stop in their studio when they are slow to see them in person. I would never set something up over the phone with someone I've never even seen. And if there is a college with a photography course offered you might try working with a student. No guarantee on the results, but it's worth a try. I've been involved with some local young people at one of our community colleges and a few of them have great potential. They can sometimes even put a few "Professionals" I know to shame.

That's wonderful Payal - keep at it can't wait to see the pics


Hi All, I don't think all TFP/TFCD are Scams? The reason being is that i also have it written in my profile as well payal would say. But i have not had one single reply? And to keep things simple ' At anytime no money changes hands on TFCD/ TFP's. Payal i think you are alittle bit to far away for me ( Malaysia), i am in Germany. Take care and have a wonderful night. :D

I shoot tfp and tfcd quite often. It helps both myself and the model. No losses, no worries.
