I know how to direct people and that means I have access to TFP. I'm not paying anyone shit unless they have a decent port to begin with and verified references. If you're just a young woman who hasn't gotten fat yet or popped out a couple of kids then no I'm not paying. If you are a traveling model who has accolades, experience, published in real magazines and not just local "editorials" online only, doesn't have to be directed and shows up on time, I will pay you.
I am saying OP will probably have to pay to get his foot in the door, no one wants to work with some random dude with zero experience who just wants to see you naked. 99.999% of male photographers trying to shoot female nude are just horny guys trying to see nips. If you have no men in your port then you're a GWC trying to use your camera to get laid or see nips. That's a fact.
There is nothing wrong with paying people for their time, that's how Capitalism works. In America everything literally every single thing is monetized now that the cost of living quadrupled in a couple of years.
OP, find local modeling pages in your area, they're all over Facebook which is where I have found many of my subjects. There's always people looking for pictures, young women want to feel pretty. Go in with a concept in mind and set yourself apart from the incels just trying to see boobs. Networking is king, it's still not what you know, it's who you know. Almost every single person I have worked with was through someone else I knew.
