As a photographer, I have encountered numerous job offers listed as \"No pay\" or \"Compensation: Credits\". Meaning, I work, use my experience and equipment and time and gas to do a service for someone that will not pay me. Probably he will make some profit... BUT! he offers to list my name in the credits page or somewhere...

My opinion? Screw that! Lets be real. Nobody will ever read those credits. To me its just a waste of time and money. In fact that guy is using my resources and taking away money from my household.

Now... TFP/TFCD is a different story. Here, two professionals agree to collaborate with each other to improve or enhance their portfolios or experience. Nobody is using the other person, or better yet, they\'re both using each other for a mutual benefit.
