How do I go about finding these people? And preferably how do I do it for free? (Maybe I'll buy them lunch or something)

Obviously I'm not looking for professional models, but enthusiastic guys and gals who want to model for enthusiastic amateurs like me.

Facebook and instagram are your friends.

First shoot your friends and family to get a portfolio and then use that to get more, etc etc.

Find some people that aren't models or people just starting out in modelling and ask to do a "TFP" (trade for portfolio) so you don't have to pay people until you're confident with your skills.

You have to use social media you dumb faggot. Start out with attending meets in your city and contacting fairly new models. Explain your situation that you're looking to build your portfolio and they'll usually reply with a yes or no. Sometimes it helps to send these thots a mood board, which you can hastily scramble together using pinterest or some other gay shit. Once your following has grown, you'll be overwhelmed with requests.

Its a pretty easy sell because the model's going to get nice photos of themselves. I put an ad in a tourist board and got hundreds of hits.

Where do you live? I live in a heavy tourist place, so its online. But there's bound to be a local online noticeboard where you are on facebook. If you live in a shit town I would just walk around and approach a girl and ask her if she wants to do it right now. pay her $20, then ask for another one when you send her some photos in the right clothes and made up, You can do this at a beach too

Gee are you pulling my leg? That place will be overrun by self obsessed posers dying to have their photos taken. You're lucky, you could conceive of widespread tableaus, battlefield scenes, anything. I think you just don't believe in yourself yet, that's why the hesitation. But you should pay them, makes the whole thing smoother when they know they're going to get paid.

$20 for an hour, but then say it'll probably take half an hour, which it probably will, and say they can bring a friend too for support. And tell them you'll send them some photos afterwards, do it. You could probably get nudes too since you live CA, just advertise as erotic' or something.

You charge more and do an adult modelling shoot and make sure they know its sex before they arrive, like backroom.

No? And what's easier than building a portfolio, all you need to do is toss some money for a camera and interesting lenses, and go shoot.

Ask people on the street or on social networks. don't expect it to be easy, depending on the type of shoot.

Time for print was the original meaning, but it also means "time for pictures" if you're not actually making prints, and honestly "trade for portfolio" works just as well so whatever.

I happen to live right on campus on a University. I typically just walk around and if I see someone interesting I ask if I can take some photos. 7/10 people usually don't mind. If they are cool, we follow each other on IG and sometimes we link up again.

Today I saw this cute Asian girl in the gym and asked her if she was interested in doing a shoot. I got her IG and we set up plans for this coming week.

I'm not even a real social butterfly but all you have to do is ask and stay calm.
