Hey,
I've been a filmmaker/ photographer for a while, but finally bought a Leica already having M lenses and keen to get shooting with interesting subjects with a rangefinder... But how do I start on here?
What's the process, do people on here get together in groups or is it generally one on one?

Thanks in advance

Welcome!  Congratulations on getting a Leica!  I would love to visit London someday!   Just by posting on here you are off to a good start.  I thought there was a "Purpleport" something or other that is British based for models and photographers but I can't find it at the moment. 

Start off by coming up with your own BRAND and LOGO.  You are serious about business, correct?  Then IF YOU HAVE NOT ALREADY .. set up profiles on all the social media sites that you have time for .. Facebook and Instagram are important!   There are many film makers, photographer, models, actors and musicians on both those platforms, with LinkedIn and Twitter being mildly as important for having a profile.  Since you are a film maker, you absolutely need a Youtube account!  Get on Twitch and Younow too.   Your chances of finding talent to work with increases the more web presence you have. 

Mostly you can ask friends or people near you to pose, practice and keep yourself motivated.  Having the camera that you do, that alone should provide motivation to get out there and shoot!  Feel free to use the casting calls section on here, and use the forums. It's been rather slow for the past few years but hopefully you'll get some interest from those in your area for projects you may have.  Best wishes to you!
