Finding models to work with

IlSan · Jul 18, 2010

Same here, in my are the number of models on MM is very limited. I send out 6 requests in the last few months and not one reply. I guess if you are not an accomplished fashion shooter they just ignore you.

That can of course be the case.
Most models only reply if they have seen some of your work, or they have a reference from someone they know about you / your work. Reason behind this is pretty obvious.

In the beginning it was very hard to get the much needed portfolio shots together, as most models (if they replied) said, that due to the lack of work they can see, references I have they would not "risk" it.
But once I had some shots up, references from models I had worked with things started rolling and now it is not all that difficult to get models for a shoot.
