Where to find a model

[timno1]

Does anyone on this forum know where you can hire a model,that isnt too espensive,for a photo shoot?I have mainly photographed sports in the past,but im now looking to expand into the portraits field,so im looking for a model,to gain some sort of experience.

as alex said, MM is pretty good.

myspace is technically crap, you can find people there, but MM is more "model focused".

myspace is ok

Never!

also try ozmodel.com. They seem to have more local listings - although you can't put out a casting call like you can with MM.

Thanks for the websites guys.I took a look at both Model Mayhem and OzModel,and booked a model from OM.I am doing a swimsuit shoot (my first ever) in a week,and i was wondering if anyone has any suggestions for a location.Im pretty much looking for a beach around the city area that is great for photography but shouldnt get too busy.
I am going to scout out a few locations a bit later in the week,so any suggestions will be very helpful and much appreciated.
