TFP Shoots: Everything You Need To Know

Want to book some TFP shoots? We share all you need to know about how to set up a TFP photoshoot, working with TFP collaborators, and how to find TFP models.

What is TFP Photography?

TFP usually stands for Trade For Pictures or Photos . A team—generally a photographer and a model (or models)—collaborates on a photography project. Everyone works for free, but they all receive the TFP shots to use in their portfolios. Hair stylists, makeup artists, and photography assistants can also take part in TFP photoshoots as well. The term Time For Print is also occasionally used.
