How do I go about getting a portfolio done? How much does one cost? How many pictures should a model have to show agencies?

I think a better starting place before you go to profettional photographers is if you have a friend who is reasonable with a camera (do not have to be a professional or even that good just okay) Just take 100 photos of yourself in different poses, clothing and backgrounds then pick out 10-20 nice photos. You can then use this as a portfolio, and even better instead of printing them which cost you money every time, host them on a website and get some business cards print with the website address on and just hand these out instead. This is a far cheaper way of doing it and with no RISK. You should never have to pay to get a job if you do there is a high chance it is a scam.
However if you would like a personal portfolio site please contact me and I will set you on up for free. I can design you a fully personalised flash website with as much or little information and then host it for you. This site can contain a gallery of your photos, personal information, list of work, contact details, etc or if you prefer just a couple of photos and nothing else. It can be password protected and all images will be protected as is humanly possible, or the photos can be available to download.
Examples of work can be provided on request. Just message me here if you want, I am a professional website designer but have lots of free time (and enough money) so I am currently doing free sites for small bands, small artist etc, basically anyone who could not afford them otherwise. I have my own hosting server so can offer hosting servers or you can host the site yourselves. This site will not contain adverts, unless you host it and put the adverts there yourself. No images sent to me will be used for anything other than your site and I will not give anyone your detail or link to the site. You will have complete control and the site can be removed or changed at any time. This is not a scam and I will design a site for FREE, I do not need the money, and enjoy working. If you do want it message me you can tell me what you want and how you want it done and I will help.
Depending how old you are I may require parents permission before i will do any work.

If you know of a photographer, that's all the better. If you don't then you might want to talk to an agency that has access to one. If you don't belong to an agency, then you can have someone take about 4-5 polaroid pics of you. 1) your face w/ minimal makeup 2) your entire body w/jeans & a tank 3) your entire body w/a swimsuit. That's if you don't have an agency yet, then you send the pics to different agencies with your stats (composite card) height, weight, dress size, shoe size, waist size, breast size.
When you join an agency, you will then add pics to your portfolio.
All in all, to start out it will cost you around $100-$200 for a photographer.

the art director makes the choices. and you as a model, get paid. thats it. the artwork belongs to the customer /photographer, not you. youre just window dressing or another clothes horse... thats it... if i do a job for you the individual, you get the shots... after they've been photoshopped... it may well be your face... but itll have my name attached... we dont give out stuff which is only fit for the bin.
