SUGGEST ME A WORTHY LENS FOR $ 200 TO TAKE PORTFOLIOS AND MODELING. I'm USING A NIKON D3200.

The 50mm f1.8, the 85mm f1.8 or the 24-70mm f2.8 are all good studio/location lenses for model work. Out of those, only the 50mm f1.8 is within your budget.

What's equally important is good lighting - you will also need off camera lights (mains or battery operated speedlights), plus modifiers (umbrellas, softboxes, snoots, etc) and reflectors.

You will need to trigger your lights via a cord (the D3200 does not have a PC sync socket for lights, so you'd need a hotshoe to PC adapter); or better still use radio triggers - the transmitter sits on the hotshoe & the receiver goes on the lights.

None. Save up and get at least the 50mm f1.4. Better yet, get the 85mm f1.4 If you plan to charge for your pictures you need to have real equipment.
