Hi everyone - I've been absent for a while after married life set in and am in the process of getting back into shooting again.

I have a work project that requires some model shots and would love some advice on the best place to find a model for a day or half day - it would be a weekday shoot. The budget is not confirmed yet but we don't expect anything free.

Does anyone have advice on where to find someone?

Thanks for the help!

Cheers,

Mike

All very professional and all very clothed. I currently have someone lined up but if you are indeed serious (can't really tell from the post) I'd like to keep you in mind as a back-up plan. All the shooting is taking place in the Queen West area.

Let me know if you are actually interested and I'll keep you posted should plan A fall through.

Thanks everyone...your suggestions have proven to be fruitful. :)

Happy shooting!!

In that case I'm glad I have plan A.

A little humour makes the board more fun.

Go to Queen street west with a camera and business cards in your pocket. Stop any girl that you feel fits the role and take a photo of them and ask for their e-mail address (don't forget to give your business card). Once you have collected enough go home look at the images and pick one. You will save a lot of money and most probably you will find more interesting looking girls rather than the generic looking model-types.

I've done this sort of stuff at least a couple of times, after choosing a good couple of candidates and emailing back and forth, I did never manage to get the girls to show up ...Zero reliability!

The girls should be assured that this is not some scam, but you're right, if he needs the models urgently then he should contact an agency.

Outside of a bar do many girls believe the assurances of a male stranger with a camera? :twisted:

I'd be a little weirded out by a random person taking a photo of me on the street then giving me an offer for a modeling position. Actually a friend of mine was scouted while walking down the street and it turns out the modeling agency was a huge scam.

I agree, he should pay for a model through an agency... Still photography is not what it used to be and girls know that, of course if he went and ask them for a potential movie role thing will be different.
