When you are starting out, looking to do your first photoshoot, you need to find a good photographer.

There a tons of so called people claiming to be photographers out there, that will do TFCD (Time for CD) with you, and tell you things a new model would like to hear.  BUT and this is a big BUT !!  BeWare !! Not everyone with a camera is a photographer.

The number one thing for a model starting out is to shoot with a credited photographer.  Look at his/her work, past photoshoots, what others have to say about them.

I understand that for a first time model, it is probably hard to find a professional photographer to do TFCD with you, and yes, you just want to try it, and the guy with the camera is offering to do it.  Think about it, will you get the pictures that you want??? Who is this person??  Do you want to spend 6hours.. and get the average photo in return??

If you are Model material....then pros will do TFCD with you.  They would be crazy to turn you down.
