How to approach models. Step one. (Patreon)

First, please read my notes here named "Where do you find all these models".  It's really important, because you need a portfolio. And I don't mean standalone site, it's overrated (I still don't have one). And 500px is good for photographers only. The best way, IMO, is Instagram. 

Name your account like "John Smith, Portrait Photographer" and upload your best photos. It doesn't matter who your subjects are, but you have to show some skills (my tutorials will help you). And don't mess it with your private life or other kind of photography you like. For example, if you shoot landscapes too, make another account. This one must be for portraits only. And there must be some. 

Good start.
