A little background, I am 21 yo, live in a big city and go to a large university studying engineering(senior year). However my passion is photography. I shoot landscapes all over the country and some international, and use lots of my free time growing this hobby.

Recently I have had the urge to start shooting portraits/people. However, finding a lot of different people willing to let them photograph them is not very easy, especially since I associate with many non-artsy people.

I was thinking of using Tinder and putting in my bio something along the lines of "photographer looking for practice on my portrait photography". I mean yeah, I also want to meet women. But honestly, I would be more interested in furthering my skills in my hobby. I have an Instagram account to link so people can see my work.

Is offering women free pictures a waste of time? Tinder seems to be the place that has a perfect demographic for learning this skill. I'm a good looking guy in fantastic shape. Any ideas on how to present my profile, or if this is a dumb idea.
