Workshop Photoshoots:  Focus is offering (8 or more) workshop "photoshoots" per year @ Local Photographers. No cost to the models for the photographer-if you're interested in purchasing images - cost per photo is $20 each. These purchased images can go up on model websites at no charge- (Two website changes per year at no charge). Mahalo !

Portfolio:

DO's 
use images that you can be readily seen - in focus, light enough, etc.
use images that vary your expressions - smile, no smile, etc.

Don'ts
don't use images which have other people in the image (unless a
well-known tear-sheet or photo's being used in a "couple or family" category).
don't use images which are just repeats of another image (quality over
quantity)
don't use swimsuit shots in which your body is not being shown at it's
best
don't use images that you know are not showing you well, just to have
more images

marketing yourself is important to both yourself and Focus

Use "quality over quantity" as your guide to choosing only the "best"
images to market yourself
