Especially if you're looking for amateurs and have a tight budget. I did a video shoot (non nudity involved) and needed some alt girls to fill a room (think club atmosphere) a few months back. I posted on Craigslist and got several responses quite quickly. Every now and then, I still get an email from some drifter (who obviously can't read the post date).

If you want a particular type of model...the best ones will have to be paid for.....unless you get really lucky.

Be open to photographing older folks - there's a huge 40+ contingent of BDSM people. If you're looking to do bondage TFP, your are much less likely to attract people that "look" like models.

Model Mayhem is a great site, but also an overlooked site is craigslist for posting model needs. Flickr also has some great groups, but to find models you usually need to be near a major metro area. Alt.com might be another site to try.

I am looking for trade only (trade for CD) not for pay. I'd try joining up with a local bdsm / shibari group, see if you can photograph for them, work up a bit of a portfolio. IMHO/AFAIK, very few models will do this kind of work in trade, except with a photographer who has an existing portfolio that they like. Also, a bit of versatility (not just bondage) would go a long way to making for an attractive portfolio. - Steve Mon, 08 Dec 2008 18:50:21 GMT http://eroticphoto.tribe.net/thread/b9f09dec-5b2b-44fd-a92b-a8de40800485#3e4ccdb3-ae31-4a6f-bc79-649356913264 Steve 2008-12-08T18:50:21Z http://eroticphoto.tribe.net/thread/b9f09dec-5b2b-44fd-a92b-a8de40800485#a3cda8d0-2774-4e54-b94f-07e4e5dbf566 I'm looking to do more art/bondage photography. What do people advise in terms of the best way to cast alt models? I am looking for trade only (trade for CD) not for pay. I was thinking of posting to Model Mayhem, but would love to find a site like that were you can post pics that can't be easily copied by someone else. Any thoughts on the above would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!
