TFP!

(trade for press/ trade for print/ time for print)

an arrangement between a model and a photographer where the photographer agrees to provide the model with a certain number of pictures from the session, and a release or license to use those pictures in return for the model's time. The foundation of the concept of TFP being that both a photographer and a model get together and exchange their 'time', for free, and each receives the photos for their own usage.

There are benefits to both parties of such an arrangement. The model can build a portfolio of photographs to show to prospective clients at little or no cost, while the photographer gets a model for a particular project or their portfolio with little, if any, outlay of cash..

I put out an all call for local small business owners and digital content creators to shoot with me. Over the course of a month I worked wit five different women all with varying audiences.

It was awesome to connect with local movers and shakers in Austin and create some new content for their brands.
