How did you set that up? Did you go through a talent agency? Besides running my husbands clinic I'm a freelance photstylist, so I've done shots like this and I'm just curious. Did you get your sponsors to pay or did you foot the bill? I was thinking of hiring a model and getting all the gear heads w/hot cars together and charging a flat rate for a shoot. Obviously I've gotta wait until spring now. (It's 37 degrees right now)

talusgirl, I put ads up for models for a website that I had co-founded, and had gotten many replies. I went through all the aps, and chose ten of the ones I thought were the best. There was supposed to be five girls, but only one showed up. Thats the only problem working with models, they all think their sh*t don't stink. The girl in my photoshoot is Elise. She is a professional model from the Boston, MA area, and was a sweetheart to work with. The whole shoot lasted three hours, and we had agreed on $50, but I doubled it because I was so happy with the results. I gave her a copy of all the photos for her to use in her portfolio, and from that one job, I did three more shoots for her friends. Yes, I did all the pics myself, for a flyer for Hot Import Nights. The best suggestion I can give, is to hit the local hangout, and scout out some attractive girls. Offer them a portfolio, and like $50 bucks, and invite their boyfriends. I found that local, unprofessional girls are much easier to work with, and they are cheaper too.
Oh, one of the shoots I did last winter was in my friends auto repair garage. I put the cars on the lifts, about a foot off the ground, and had the girls dress in jumpsuits unbuttoned the the navel... just an idea for you in the bad weather.

I find women all over the place too. I'll attach a pic of one I discovered at a shoe store. I work w/a proffessional fashion photographer and just do a 'test shoot'. I don't pay them but just offer them my services (professional hair/makeup) and about 5 different looks for their portfolio. I met one at a bar that turned out to be a former 'Snap-on Tools' Calender girl. Problem is people are so suspicious-I have to show them my book so they don't think I'm just trying to hit on them (and I'm straight). Usually if you go through a talent agency you've go t to pay 60-90 an hour. And I ALWAYS get them to sign a model's release form. I was just curious how you went about it. You did a really great job, and I went to photography school. Good eye!!

LOLO, I'm glad you like them
Talus, wow, that is a really nice head shot. I always wanted to go to photography school, but I never really had the extre money to go. I know that I have a pretty good eye, but I criticize my work way too much, and think people will do the same. I also had some buisness cards made up, to break the ice with girls that I meet, or I have my girlfriend talk to them.
