The thing with a portfolio is that you do not want to put too much in it, though, I have never heard a particular number. Afterall, you do not want them to get bored going through it.\n\nThe important thing is to show your versatility. A couple or three pics of each of the various styles that you have explored would be a good starting point. The reason for this is to show your range, and having more than one of each style shows that the one was not a matter of luck.\n\nArrangement of the portfolio is important as well. You do not want to put your best work first. Your best work should be the last one that they see, because the last one is the one that is most likely to be a deciding factor. The first one should be your second or third best. Others of your best should sprinkled in the middle to maintain interest as they go through the portfolio.\n\nI hope this is a help. I have never put together a portfolio for this purpose, but this method has worked for my photography business.

Directly form the owner of the copyright. But do you really need THAT exact image? I doubt the fact, start browsing sites that offer stock photography for free, there's so much stuff out there that you'll soon forget about your current obsession, I promise you. Try sxc.hu for start. But look around, there's so many sites, no use getting stuck on this one image.

I used to be a model, the best thing to do is find an agent in your area, and see if they will represent you, they will pay for your portfolio, and you can get started this way, with professional photos, then you can enter a model search contest with really good quality photos, BE VERY CAREFUL!! IN THE AGE OF THE INTERNET THERE ARE A LOT OF SCAMS, AND A LOT OF "MODEL SEARCHES" THAT WILL GET YOU TO POST YOUR PICTUES AND THEY MAKE MONEY OFF THEM, AND YOU GET NOTHING, AND JUST GET EXPOSED TO LOTS PERVERTS! KEEP YOUR IMAGE, YOUR OWN AND ITS WHAT YOUR SELLING AS A MODEL, DON'T SELL OUT. GOOD LUCK AND PLEASE BE CAREFUL! if you have any other questions email me I would be happy to help.

You can use just one box, but you'll need to use tabs to align the text.\n\nIf you want to include a logo you'll need a picture box too.\n\nIf I were you I'd use guide lines to make the shape of the card then fill in the design using as many text boxes as you need.

I think you're talking about creating a slideshow? If so, search Google for "myspace slideshow" and if gives you a lot of options. If you're just wondering how to post another picture, you can put as many <img src="link"> tags as you want. e.g. <img src="link1"><img src="link2"><img src="link3"> You'll still need to place the pictures in the correct spots (specify right and top values).

i am in a similar situation, wanting pictures for a college project. most of the sources i have tried charge money for the pictures, fair i suppose as someone had to take them. try looking on e-bay for royalty free images or google images but i have not been able to find a single location that has a large number of downloadable images.

Be very good looking for starters.\n\nNext have portfolio of well shot photos that you can submit to agents.\n\nSubmit them. If you are good looking you'll get work. If not you won't. It's a fickle industry.

I modeled in my younger days, and the first thing you will need is a good portfolio. About 10 pictures-8x10 in size-some head shots, some full body. Some in  color and some in black & white. You can go to various aagencies and show them around-trust me, there is a lot of pounding the pavement and a lot of rejections. However, there's always that chance of getting small jobs along the way and perhaps being discovered. Beware of any so called agency that wants money up front-don't do it. If an agency wishes to sign you, and it is legitimate, they will take out a percentage of your pay for their fee. Good luck1

I took at look at your ebay store and here is my advice:\n\n1. Only list the "personal collage art greeting card" once.\nIt is a small item and takes up far too much scrolling down space.\n\n2. You have nice jewelry but jewelry is difficult to photograph.  Consider hiring a professional photographer.  I know you probably don't want the expense but it is difficult to see the size of your jewelry items and a professional will take better pictures.  \n\n3. Don't center all of your text and use lower case and capital letters.  By emphasizing every letter you are emphasizing nothing.\n\n4. If you want to do more business with the United States.  State that directly and more clearly in the text portion.\n\nGood luck and remember the summer is the slow season for all of retail.

that depends on the size of the images and the number of images... take a sample size of an image and then see how many do you want to store... depending upon that, quote your requirement..

I would consider hiring an outside photographer so long as the prices were reasonable.  I am in Virginia and one of the admin. gals charges $250 to go to a listing, take what she considers to be "staged" photos and create a windows movie presentation to music on CD.  I found that I like my own photos better but it's difficult enough to make time to go and take photos of every listing, much less to then sit and put together a tour.  I wouldn't mind being able to email someone photos that I took and have them email me back a presentation which could be saved to disk.  I would think that would be more profitable because then you aren't limiting yourself to your local area.  You could procide the service to anyone, anywhere.  Of course if photography is your thing and that's what you are looking to do then I would market yourself by offering a "POGO" offer, Pay for One, Get One.  I don't really care for any of the virtual tours that require stitching because they always look like the "egg" tours, dort of distorted.  I like the ones where the camera seems to zoom in and out.  If there was a high quality 360 tour, I would consider it but I haven't seen one I like yet.  I think that having some sort of staging experience or at least being able to say you completed a staging course would be essential if you are going to actually go and take the photo.  Also, you need to consider access to the homes.  You can always ask the agents to meet you and let you in but I would think that it would be easier to check with the local Realtor board and see if they offer bus. memberships so that you can have a lockbox key (if they are even used in your area).   I know I would much rather pay someone who can let themselves in, take awesome photos, make a nice virtual tour that I could use on my website, on CDs that accomany the brochures etc.. and offers me some sort of discount for multiple jobs.  Just my input!  :)
