Should a Model or Actor pay to have an on-line portfolio with an agency?

Clients used to rely just on physical composite cards and model’s portfolios; however this is being increasingly replaced by on-line portfolios since the early 2000’s  Online Web presence for a model or actor allows clients to preview the models and talent they wish to hire and see up to date photos and biographical information.

In many cases the cost of an on-line portfolio is about the same as printing composite cards, if not cheaper. And the advantage is that when the models or talents looks change, no costly re-printing and production is needed. You may get more opportunities having online exposure.
