This is an industry in which advertising agencies or leading brands will check the model’s appearance, hair color, optical eye color, height, etc.
Therefore, it is almost impossible for the model to get exposure without a portfolio.
To work as a professional model, you must be registered with a model agency, which offers castings and auditions from casting agents and advertisement companies. Your modelling agency should insist that in order to be represented on their websites, you must have done a professional portfolio.
Modelling agencies will usually be able to recommend a photographer or have their own in-house photographer who will do a model portfolio shoot for you.
