I have had no problems recruiting models, and virtually all of them were found working somewhere. For people in low paying jobs, putting together a modeling portfolio is one way to find a way into better work. I've had success with coffee shops, bowling alleys, bars, tranvestite bars, restaurants, farmers' markets - you can try just about anywhere. Have a business card, this will make a big difference. Always offer prints (which I have found is more appealing to amateurs than money) and get a model release signed.(posted 8825 days ago)
