Portfolio Hosting Modeling Sites

Portfolio hosting modeling sites are a type of social networking site which allow the general public to create an online portfolio for the purpose of promoting modeling services. These sites may allow, in addition to models: photographers, modeling agencies, make-up artists, fashion designers, and other related professionals to post a portfolio. Combination Internet Beauty Pageant and Model Searchsites employ additional exposure mechanisms like pageants in order to bridge the small gaps between modeling, pageantry and self promotion over the internet. Some sites are free, some charge a fee, and many offer a mix of free and fee-based services. Some portfolio hosting sites have tens of thousands, if not hundreds of thousands of portfolios. Many sites have rules and moderators which are for the purpose of ensuring quality and up-to-date information.

Tribute Modeling Sites

Tribute modeling sites are site erected to pay tribute (homage) to a model who is already famous (and in no need of self promotion.) These sites are seldom sanctioned by the celebrity to whom they pay tribute.

Individual Modeling Sites

An individual modeling site is a portfolio, usually existing on its own domain, for the purpose of promoting modeling services.

Agency Modeling Sites (Or Modeling Agency Sites)

An agency modeling site is similar to a portfolio hosting site, with the exception of the criteria for inclusion, and the fee structure. A modeling agency will generally have stringent criteria, and will take on relatively few models as clients. The content of an agency site is usually controlled by the agency, and not directly updated by the models.
