Nude Models..

Does anyone know the best way to find models interested in erotic/playboy style shots?

I have the opportunity to work with a great photographer in his studio in Dublin and need to find hot models for the shoot.

Any help on this would be greatly appreciated.

Take care,

Rob.

Did a quick google and turned up this :

http://www.imapp.co.uk/

even though its got a .co.uk domain it seems to be the place for Irish photographers to hire professional nude photography models.

Just being curious but who is the great photographer ?

Try bebo! JUST KIDDING

Try putting up a notice in Art Colleges and Art shops, life drawing models do that all the time. Its differnt i know but you might strike gold.

He's not kidding! Students will do anything for cash.

On a similair note - does anyone know where to find non-nude models willing to work for prints ? I have put a notice on here before and the response was a teeny bit underwhelming.

The Sad thing is I actually need the money. Im sure if you ask around UCD or put posters up you may get a few interested parties however an escort agency got into trouble for putting flyers around the place last week.

Hmmm, most photographers have a modeling agency that they can get in contact with, or even you are renting a studio, they would have some contacts.

You'd be better off to go with Newton style shots then Playboy though, not many people want to be protrayed in that way...

If your a girl (specially a nordic one) then all I can say is TFP, Time for Prints baby, thats the dealio.

If your not a girl - then uh, moving swiftly along .. .

Question -

How much are the models being paid?

FX Meister

I did it years ago and used to get £80 for a little over two hours. That was nude.

Posed naked in arts school once in exchange for food. No biggy (as in 'deal' i mean, of course).

Really? For food? I did it for an art college too but I did it for the money.

I remember in a life drawing class getting a lecture (the whole class) about treating the models with respect and being told that we should grateful to the models for providing us with the opportunity to study and draw the human form. All I remember is that the studio was kept very hot to suit the model and the rest of us had to sweat it out. I have no experience however of life photography.

had a few models in life drawing in college but i dont think any would suit your purpose OP.

Thanks for all your help, I was considering flyering or postering around UCD but wondered about the small mindedness factor... So I might leave that for another time.

I also didn't want to go the agency route just yet as I'm really trying to gain experience in this style so really need to keep it on the cheap. I will definitely be using agencies in the future when I define a style but for now I have to get my technique down.

So I'm afraid I can really only offer TMP/CD and any expenses of course and hopefully an enjoyable experience for all involved.

I think I am sorted for models however but appreciate all the replies.

If anyone is interested here is My flickr

Thanks again.

Take care,

Rob.

If you talk to some of the modelling agencies they may have some people. Some more willing than others.

The Irish Models Forums may be the place to ask. There are a number of posters there who model nude.

Thanks Sarsfield, that's a great help...

Just in case you're putting this up anywhere else, it might be an idea to link your Flickr account straight away, there's some really nice shots there, and it might make someone feel more comfortable in the fact you're a proper photographer.

Good idea dude... I'm a newbie... Didn't want to give too much away!!

Cheers,

Thanks mloc, I appreciate that.
