TFP (Trade for Portfolio)

What is TFP at HK TALENTS?

TFP (Time for Print / Trade for Portfolio) is an exclusive collaborative platform designed for established creatives and fresh faces to co-create without financial exchange. Our goal is mutual portfolio growth.

In exchange for their time and modeling skills, our talents receive high-resolution, professionally edited images to expand their books, while you secure top-tier faces for your creative concepts.

Who We Collaborate With?

Collaboration Profiles

We welcome applications from passionate industry professionals looking to execute specific concepts:

Hong Kong’s distinct urban and editorial backdrops.
