Now where are my plane tickets?
edit: oh wait, I'm out of the age group you want to shoot topless. Too bad...given I've got one of the last sets of real C cup breasts. OH well.

I think OMP is better for searching for specific kinds of models, because you can narrow your search criteria based on the kind of work the model will do. Might be worth a basic membership to have access to that feature.

You know depending on the photographer, most models are flexible.
Send both Daniela and I a plane ticket, and we will shoot together.
Double the hotness!
I also have a small C cup, and I am all natural! I am 22, I can show you my ID.

All the girls out here are nuts and want like $150 to $200 an hour for bikini/lingerie and wont even consider topless. Really cant afford to pay travel expenses and fly models in

Or models that are willing to do it on a tfp/tfcd basis? If you're offering pay I can't imagine it would be that difficult to find talented and willing subjects.

I think many Models are willing to do those types of shoots. However, if that is all we are approached with (which here on MM I have been asked by many photographers that already)...it gets old. I have done them and they are a lot of fun! But I need more than those style shots... Also, as a model...I look at the overall style of the photographer and how the nudity is shot in the image. I checked out your photos and I think they are great....I am sure you will find many locals who would be willing. Best wishes!

Ok, let me be REAL specific haha. Its for a Playboy styled site and the girls need to look Playboy quality. Not to be rude, but I cant use just random looking girls for this. All of the girls who look like that out here in California are used to getting paid like $500 to go look pretty and promote at a nightclub. Or they get some GWC to pay them hundreds of dollars an hour to shoot in a bikini. So they either want an astronomical rate to shoot topless or most wont even consider it. Hence my troubles.

-jM Exactly. Balancing the needs of the photographer with shots the model needs to enhance her portfolio is a nice compromise...win/win. And where have you been? Oops...sorry...threadjacking.

Now I'm curious what your definition of "pays well" is
I'm always up for a trip to Cali.

-jM Yes, I agree. The quality of your shots is top notch. Perhaps list in your bio what projects you'd like to work on. You may get some interest there. I also agree that shooting all nude, all implied, all topless all the time is putting yourself into a rut. There are models out there that can benefit from the quality of your work fully dressed. Here's where fashion, attitude of the model, composition of the shot, location replace the nudity.

I charge substantially less than what I hear other models on my level charge. HINT EFFING HINT.

They are out there. I've found several models who were happy to model for TFP/TFCD, or no more than $50.
Try placing an ad on Craigslist. I've found several models through there. Just be patient.

I work with a few photographers who have this trouble. They put out casting calls, and get very few models who the look they are looking for.
Most of the girls apply to anything.

Hey, I love nudity!!! LOL. No seriously, it sounds really deluded and sad, but I've wanted to be a playmate since I was 11. I think the human body is beautiful and it's ridiculous that nudity is such a big deal, especially in the states.
