A great place to get some face time in front of young and attractive models is via Meetup groups. You pay a portion of the studio fee and a portion goes to the model & usually you get a release as I always do. In return you get to practice and building your portfolio, test out some new glass perhaps and come away from some images that you might not have otherwise ever been able to obtain by yourself. I think if you try to search for models via Craigslist, you may end up with more trouble than you bargained for as they may not be only offering 'modeling' and/or may be an undercover agent fishing...

I love her look as she uses minimal makeup (in my opinion) so natural - stunning beauty.

Steampunk look:


Here I was using a Canon 85mm f1.2 ii on a 5d2 - it's a pricey chunk of glass, but the results speak for themselves.

Sensual pose, but still tasteful:

Depending on the model and the group, the images can stay tasteful or lean more in the other direction. Lately, Meetup has been leaning away from the risque type photo shoots. These are not quite considered boudoir (perhaps the first one), however, I did some that I'll not post here. I am not up on the very latest regarding Meetup's stance on that - who can chime in?
