Newbie model looking to build portfolio

Hi all, a friend of mine is looking to build her portfolio. She is only 15 years old, so more casual ,fashion shots. I think she has alot of potential. If there are any togs and mua's looking to build there portfolios please let me know

Honestly - at that age, its better to just get one decent shoot done than to try and build something out of TF. An experienced tog can put her on the road to success (or tell her the honest truth) faster than a series of TFCD deals with fellow "amateurs".

Thanks for the advice Gerry, she just doesnt have a lot of money to put toward modelling at the moment. Think she would like to test the waters to see if its something worth investing in.

Why not have her go to one of Gerrit's open day thingies... The girls get quite a lot of photo's from different photographers, so she will even experience working with different types of photographers, that bringing out different sides of her....

Thanks Haniki ;) Will ask him for info on that

Where is your friend based. I may be able to assist

Hi there , she is in north west Johannesburg

Sorry, can't help. If she comes down to CT, she can give me a shout. I will do my best to give her something to start a port with.

Thanks so much ;)

Hi
A couple of us togs in Secunda are busy arranging a group TFCD shoot in the near future. We are looking at somtime in early August. So far 4 togs but expect about 6. Let me know if your friend could travel to Secunda and if she is interested.

Hey if she and her mom or dad is willing to take a drive to the east rand we could set something up for her.

Or even better if she can come up with a cool location like an old empty house I will drive there and do the shoot :-)

Plus 100 on this, the suggestion to contact Gerrit is perfect as well.
Will give her something to approach agencys with as well and receive their input/guidance.
