The thing is that a friend's aunt is a model and she has no portfolio. My friend watched my pictures and she loved them... so she recommended me to her aunt... I really want to do this, but in my whole life I've never done photos for anybody else, just me, some say I'm good taking pics of people, but I have no idea of what locations could be good, poses, what kind, how many pictures... I don't even know how much I should charge (which shouldn't be much for I'm barely starting...)
Any tips or/and advices of you???
Some of my portraits and people shots:

| I recommend TFP (Time for Print) since it's your first time using a model and since you'll both be using the images in your portfolios. |

By TFP, -eug meant, see poses you give her prints. That way you both can use the images in your portfolios. So, no money is exchanged. She gets prints she needs for her portfolio, you get shots you need for yours. It really is a good way to get involved as a noob.

[quote]Time for Print or Trade for Print is an arrangement between a model and a photographer where neither pays the other for their services. Instead, the photographer agrees to provide the model a certain number of prints of the best photographs from the session and a limited license to use those prints in return for a broad model release.
TFP arrangements are most common between models and photographers who are both working to build or fill gaps in a portfolio. It is less common for full-time professional models and photographers to agree to this arrangement, as they can obtain portfolio shots from paid work (see tear sheet). However, established models and photographers may also consider shooting with one another in this fashion just to have the opportunity to work with one another, or to collaborate on artistic projects that have no client paying for their time.
A variant of this arrangement is Time for CD or Trade for CD (TFCD). With TFCD, the selection of images is provided on a CD in a format and resolution that is suitable for printing, in leiu of actual prints. Some photographers may choose to release only a selection of final, retouched digital images, others release low-resolution copies of all shots taken during the session, and still others release the original digital files from the camera, unretouched.
There are no firm rules regarding payment of expenses for a TFP shoot. The model and photographer should agree beforehand who will pay for or provide travel, printing, rented equipment, permits, makeup artist and stylist fees, and wardrobe. In some cases, the makeup artist, stylist, art director, or others may agree to work in trade for print or CD copies as well.
These are not common terms in the traditional fashion industry, but are popular jargon in online communities of models and photographers. A similar concept in traditional fashion is a test shoot, where an agency will retain a photographer to create portfolio images, at no cost to the model, to build the model's portfolio book. [/quote]
