Couple of suggestions. One, post an ad in the Pittsburgh craigslist “creative gigs” section, or look around there– someone else might be looking for models. (it’s down on the right)
Second, check out ModelMayhem.com. It’s a great resource for meeting up with models, photographers, makeup artists, photoshop “wizards,” and more. You might need to register, but it’s free. modelmayhem.com
I actually work matching models to photographers. Unfortunately, I work primarily in the nyc and cny area, heres an example…
We use Craigslist a lot to find or hire models, check the “art” “talent: and “gigs” section, also look under the services section to find photographers offering this option.
If you wanted to travel to NYC, I could hook you up with the best fashion photographer/ image maker Ive met yet.
Ive been getting promo and modeling jobs ever since he did a couple of series with me and I never thought that I had that kind of looks! The camera does amazing things when the right person holds it.
Often you can have them taken for free by a student photographer in exchange for being their model. If they do charge, it will be very little. Also they’re better because theyr learning the newest, latest techniques, and have a fresh approach to photography. You can find student photographers at college, uni, etc or even post an ad online!
