Portbox - A platform for models & photographers.

by•

Finding models for your photoshoot(as a photographer). Go to Instagram --> Search for models --> DM 100s of them with an offer --> Few replies --> Follow ups === Very tough & Time consuming
Portbox: Login -> Post your shoot idea with mood board -> Book them

Hey all, maker of Portbox here! I was looking for models to feature for our next eCommerce startup. So I searched for a modeling marketplace kinda thing. To my surprise, there existed none for India. Being a computer geek myself, I thought about giving it a try. So I called up a few agencies and models whether they would like to be listed on such a platform and the amount of interest they've shown is overwhelming. Posting here so that I can get feedback from experts here on the Product Hunt. If you have any questions or maybe a suggestion, then feel free to ask/suggest here!

I think you could make some improvements on naming and positioning right now for me personally it sound creepy AF. For example you could replace "Airbnb for models" to "TaskRabbit for models"

It would be great to add more than one photo to showcase a model’s portfolio. Maybe this is a gridded view that displays large versions of images when tapped/clicked. The search is so prominent right now but isn’t useful without more than a couple of models. My searches returned nothing and lead me to think it was me. Clicking through I realized you don’t have real information, or models. Last point but important: how do I engage with you if I want my agency represented here? There’s only a telephone number in India, no other information… Letting me know what the service is, and good ways to contact a company willing solve some my agency’s challenges would be really helpful. Great idea and wish you luck Jasdev!

@sf_b Thanks for the valuable feedback. Appreciated! Already, more than one photo can be added to the model's portfolio even now. In the meantime, we are working on the enhancement of the model portfolio section because that's one of the most important parts of the app. There isn't much data because we've launched before the schedule. So in the following days, some agencies and models with whom we're in touch will be signing up. About contacting, I'll be adding more info right away. Something like a contact page will work right now. I missed it! Thanks again for pointing out important flaws.

Liked the idea. Fashion industry is lagging a lot in terms of tech solutions. This is a nice step.
