I just started my photography this year . . I decided that i prefer to photograph people ,especially pictures of model lahh because then i can use my cheap flash .Problem is where to find models that just started modelling to do photoshoot ? Professional models are too expensive and i dont have much experience also. I'm considering doing tfcd photoshoot to slowly develop my portfolio...

shoot ur friends and family member first la..

go to event / show / exhibition around kl ... gave your namecard to them... then u know the drill la...

if you dont have experience start with small objects like nendo to learn how lighting work.

after you "see" everything on it only then ask for close people like friend.
people(non professional model) gets bored fast if you impose on her too much without good result in 3-4 shot.

Hi, not all experience model are expensive. PM me if still need models. my company is Star Dazzled, modeling and talent agency. u can refer to my siggy.

You can searching Models free of charge(just trade them with nice pictures of them) and good looking also in facebook group.. just type model and talent and lot of list will given.

Namecard? can amateur photographer make namecard?I thought professional only do that ?

there is few way to get free/cheap .modal photoshooting.

join brand group/hobby group which there tt session for photoshooting with minimum price.

join cosplay shooting which modal r totally free just modal quality will mix of good and bad.

wildlife = best model.

amateur just mean you're not doing full time. why can't you make card for your part time stuff?

name card is for people to identify / remember you. that's all.

good examples is with friends, you can do all experiment with them. With model you have limited time and cost. As friends to tag along you doing photoshoot and cia them lucnh laa

OOHh i see...i didnt know that ..:/

Ya i have name card when approaching stranger or being ask

Modelmayhem may help

Join photo shooting groups. They organize model-shooting events often
My Webpage

OOh how do you make one ?You make yourself or ask people to make?I search google for answer , and some says not to make yourself because it will look messy and sloppy.:/

On the funny side, this thread just seems like a pervert looking to snap pictures of hot girls to ogle at when having some alone time. Seriously though, when you say models, people are also models. Start with people on the street, capturing their environment to showcase their life. Start with children, they love to be captured on camera and they are full of emotions. Start with family portraits, it gives good laughter during future family gatherings. Otherwise, all you are doing are just portraits.

Start only want girl models Well, at least you are direct.
