Advice needed on contacting models

[Paul L]

This may be considered slightly off topic, but I thought the regular board members may be able to offer advice.

I have been busy this last month shooting some girls for a new website.

All girls I have worked with so far (12) I have contacted directly through their sites or found on other modelling sites.

I have also emailed probably over 40-50 other girls and had no response from them. I am now, therefore run out of girls to photograph, and am looking for advice on other ways of contacting models, and looking for advice from the experienced members of the board.

Are model agencies worthwile, or will I end up paying a huge premium for booking via an agency. Also, I prefer to do the shoots at my flat to keep continuity (North Kent), and would agencies expect all shoots to be done at a known studio (I can supply references from lots of models I have already worked with, and expect a chaperone to be brought along).

Also the shoots are not hardcore and I will work upto the level the model is comfortable with, samples of the style of shoots can be seen in the preview section of the site at www.onlytease.com

Any help as always is much appreciated.

Modelling forums are always a good place to look too, just do a earch on google and you'll find quite a few.

As well shooting the girls why not spend some time posting more of your work on your website?

There are only three there so far!

I don't know what site you have looked at but if you go to to www.onlytease.com and go to the preview section, then follow the "Next" buttons you will end up at a page with a selection of the models I have worked with (http://www.onlytease.com/home3.htm) and if you then click on each model you get samples of their sets (around a few hundred pics). With the exception of Claire & Amber, all the rest of the work is shoots I have done myself, and only a selection of the girls I have worked with.

cheers

Hi,
Check out http://www.strandproductions.com/strand ... _index.htm
There are no fees for the service and there are direct e-mail addresses to the models.

Thanks for that Paul. I have looked at onlytease.co.uk not .com

Have you shot or will you be shooting my favourite Valencia Diaz?

She would look great on your site!
