87. 3 Ways to Build a Portfolio that ARE NOT a Model Call

3 Ways to Build a Portfolio that ARE NOT a Model Call - Episode 87 of the Sustainable Freedom with Boudoir Photography Podcast with Tracy Lynn!
Photography model calls…yay or nay? After talking to some of you over on my Instagram Live recently, the general consensus is that it’s a nay. And it’s not hard to see why.  Model calls are a tactic used to get clients in front of your camera, disguised as a modeling opportunity (not just using models themselves…that’s a totally separate thing!). People will often use this as a way to create a photography portfolio, especially if they’re just starting out. And it’s very attractive to many models (experienced or not) because they think they get free sessions and photos — all they need to do is show up and sign a release form. But more often than not, what ends up happening is they have to PAY for their photos. Not cool, right? Not only that, but model calls tend to make photographers look a little too green. You want to establish yourself as an authority in your niche/local area. But it’s hard to do that with model calls. The good news? There are plenty of other ways to build your portfolio. And in this episode, I’m going to be digging into three of them!
