Best way to find models interested in TFP and Remote Photoshoot (with smartphone).

Hi, I am just starting in this community a few weeks ago and I am wondering about how it could be the best way to find models interested in remote photoshooting (with the smartphone), in TFP basis. Adding a casting is restricted by a specific location, and the good thing about remote photoshoots with smartphone is that the model can be anywhere in the world (we just need a decent WiFi connection).

As I am based in Costa Rica, this has been the best way to work with models all around the globe. I am familiar working with The Shutter App and CLOS App, and I posted a new Album with the results of woking remotely with just the model's smartphone (not expensive equipment required): https://purpleport.com/portfolio-image-album.asp?id=187541 It's natural most of people are still skeptical about working with smartphone, but I am trying to debunking the myth.

If you have any advise, or if you are interested in learning/participating in remote photoshoots with the smartphone, just let me know.

--Ricardo.

I know some models on here do a lot of remote shooting, @Natasha J Bella Instantly springs to mind, but I think you may struggle on the TF basis, good luck

It's a known issue, but I'd suggest just trying a normal casting? There's some other advice in the https://purpleport.com/group/remote-shoots/ group.

Hey Ricardo! I discovered the Shutter App at the beginning of the year, and it has become the only tool I use now. If you check my portfolio notes, you'll see why. I also had some difficulty finding models on Purpleport at first, but I learned that if you set the search parameters to a minimum—be sure to include "Remote" in the Shoot Styles keyword and set the search radius to the maximum distance of 15000—you'll get results from around the world. That's how I've found my best models. I’m not an expert, but I have a lot of little tips that make the Shutter App experience more efficient and enjoyable.

I also have a PurplePort subgroup for users of the Shutter app and Shutter Studio, please leave some responses on there also!
