Hey, all, I've been pondering the idea lately of looking for new models for a photo series that's been drifting through my head. The thing is, the experiences I had with my fellow interns over the summer were often very nervous for both of us, and over-all were not that positive. What I'm looking for is some general advice: how do you approach somebody about modeling, how do you help a new model feel comfortable, how do you get /yourself/ comfortable with a new model, etc. Remember that I'm just an amateur with little financial resource to throw around, so I have no possibility for working with professionals. Any advice I could get would be appreciated as I ponder whether or not I have the guts to do this. ;-) Malenchite
