Hi Claire,

I'm not in the business in any way, I'm just a simple punter, but my advise to you is that if you are in any way unsure about anything at all, then say no and walk away from it. The only thing that matters is your safety, and I'm sorry to say, but these days your the only one whose going to look after you. If in doubt, don't do it.

Try asking for names of previous models who've worked for him for references. If other people have worked for him with success and without incident, it may go some way to reassuring you.

Please don't put yourself at risk. If you want to find sites that need models try somewhere like Onlytease, Simonscans or Suburban Amateurs. If in doubt - don't.

Also I suppose obvious to say but always take someone with you. No genuine photographer or filmaker would ever expect a girl (or guy for that matter) to go to a shoot/audition alone. Take a whole crew of mates if you want, anything to make you feel safe.
As for a website I have one that models are being added to all the time
www.celebritriesrus.com

Page 3 girl Michelle Marsh and Holly Newberry and Daily Star model Lucy Pinder have been added. I also have added Playboy playmates and amateur models. And this forums very own Sarah Louise has asked to be added, of course I said yes. Her page will be live as soon as she can get the pics to me. If you want to be added Claire, or just want more info email celebsrus1@Aol.com

Cheers

Hi Claire

You did well to ask for advice before you accept :o)

If you do feel the setting is insecure, then as already said check references, check out examples of their work, take someone along and always make sure someone knows where you are and what time etc.

I specialise in working with novice models so understand how your feeling.

I'm always seeking new models, see my recruiting site http://www.ukdigitalgirls.com for some advice for brand new models.

If your interested get in touch with a recent snapshot and a little info and I may be able to offer you some work.

Cheers
Simon
