Model for TPA
You might ask yourself why you would want to model for the TPA. There are lots of great reason! Other then the chance to be able to update your modeling portfolio and the opportunity to be included in both fashion and creative shoots in both studio and on-site locations, It's also a great way to make contacts with other amature and professional photographers from the Toronto area, as well as clothing designers, hair stylists and makeup artists.
You can gain valuable experience working both on a one-on-one and group basis with photographers, gain direction and feedback with your posing and modeling, and, if you have your own creative ideas, get the chance to arrange your own shoots with the club! On top of being able to work with professionals, you will also recieve a fee for your modeling time, so you don't have to worry about spending a few hours out of your time for free.
