Photography.

Sorry for another thread. As for my other thread, had some success - managed to get two of the girls onto my row.

Now, I'm into photography, but lost my enthusiasm a while ago. I really want to take some people pictures of some girls my age. I thought this could escalate into something if I find them cute enough too. I'm wondering how to get a girl to say yes to this? Wouldn't be such a problem with girls that I'm quite friendly with, but these are just acquaintances I say hi to. I don't really see why anyone would want to wander around town in front of my lens.

EDIT: Opps! This was meant to be in High School, could a mod please move it? Thanks.

For your friends tell them you are working on your portfoloio and want them to model for you. Make sure you get model release forms signed though.

Having strangers model for you is harder but it's been done many times.

Once you turn 18, if you are not already, you can give Model Mayhem a try. Keep in mind if you are doing it just to get laid you will be known as a GWC-guy with camera. However, you are young so at least you won't be considered a dirty old man for doing so like I would if I were on there merely to be a GWC.

Really, the best way to go about it is to have women who are comfortable modeling with you, build up a great portfolio, and show it on a personal website and/or on Myspace. Once you have a portfolio with some good work in it women will want to model for you, if you are really talented you will be turning down offers, it is a catch-22 to get that portfolio, but once you do you are in. I think this is for 2 reasons, one, it is like getting a job, you need experience and a proven track record, and if girls can see you are serious about this, and not just some perv guy trying to use a camera to get into their panties, then they will want to work with you if they have an inclination to try modeling. The other reason is that girls are funny creatures, they figure if other girls will model for this guy, he must be alright. A kind of social proof.
On Myspace women will see your work displayed there when you hit them up for modeling with you, or they may even contact you first when they see your portfolio. Meeting women at school or on the street, get a business card with a link to your website/port on it, to show that you are more professional and serious about it, and choose a good photo to be on the card so they can see what you are capable of right off the bat. I am too old for most of those women now, it is only a professional relationship for me, but if I were your age again doing this, knowing what I know now, I would have a field day with it hehe.

The photography comes first, will try to avoid becoming a sleeze with a camera I'm 16, so I'm not able to use MM (and I doubt anyone from my location is registered there either). These are girls I know, just don't talk to all that often, harder than MM because they don't have much desire to be models.
