It used to be that to land a modeling gig you had to send your photos out to the agent, client or photographer that was casting models. Every aspiring model needed to have a headshot, card or portfolio to send out and getting those made was always costly.

The cards needed to be printed up and there was always a minimum order that the aspiring model needed to purchase. Printed pieces are still a staple of modeling but online portfolios are making it much easier for models to get their images out faster and cheaper.

Models just starting out and looking for an agent or work can now easily put up a portfolio online and send the link through email, many times with very little expense for the online portfolio. Actually, many modeling sites offer models free basic portfolios and even an email address to use for agents and model castings.

A model does not need any computer skills other than internet basics and the site formats and positions the uploaded photos on the page automatically.
