I'm amazed at the idea that you have successfully met someone on the street and convinced them you were a photographer and not an axe murderer.

Well, Norway is quite different from the US.

I use Model Mayhem a lot. It works well for the most part although I get a number of no-shows and last minute cancellations. Generally I plan to do three shoots on the same day and expect at least one no-show.

For normal commercial work I pay $75 for a two-hour shoot, sometimes less for models with no or limited experience. I do some fine art nudes that I typically pay $200-$300 for two hours depending on experience.

I also try to get people I meet in public and offer TF. That works sometimes but cancellation/no-show percentage is probably 75%.

Some people swear by Craig's List but I've had no luck that way.

I believe if he has a good camera with him no-one will think that

I don't know how contributors could afford to pay models in microstock these days with the lower pay rates on SS DT etc

tfp, this model should still be interested in your stories. You have to understand that the model should be dressed in clothes without trademarks and she should do only what you need. Why would people agree to this?

I wouldnt dream of hiring a model for microstock but do sell many photos of people. People I know or on the street. Elderly sell best for me, most over 100 times.....

A murderer wouldn't ask to take photos They would hide & take sneaky shots at a distance, that's what they do in movies anyway

I've signed my own model release for body part shots but I don't think I'd submit whole face to microstock
