First off all, I have to post this here, since it's the first time I realized there isn't a help section for photography?

Anyway here's my question. Where do you photographers get your models? Here I mean not payed models. Just persons who want some pics for fun.

Once i have my new camera, i start with my family and neighbourhood.

Studio is another and bigger problem if you are really ito studio photography (which i am not luckily).

Just ask your friends, family and neighbours really. If your at college and there is a girl you like you can use that as a chance to talk to her

But thats the general idea really, work out what kind of person you want for the shoot then find someone you know like that.

If you want to get cute models there are sites where TFP photographer/models hang arround. Show what you've done, come with an idea and then setup a meet.

Else, go out... give your card and hope that they will contact you

I do it, everyone do it... you should do it.

I just go to events that I want to photograph and use them... so like skate parks, the old port area, downtown etc... natural models in element
