or a photographer that shoots models in general, not necessarily for fashion stuff, I like working with and taking pictures of other people in general
I collaborate with a guy that is/has a photography agency, doing mainly motorsports but also school yearbooks and real estate, I have experience using cameras, I've shot a lot of things for my own enjoyment and some for work, I know how to setup lights and I'm overall confident I'd be able to produce good pictures

how would I go about shooting models, making me a portfolio, who would I show a portfolio, who would I sell the pictures?
I've done some test shoots with friends (who didn't have a clue how to model) and I've gotten some, if a little, usable shots, pic related is an example of me fucking with lights that I think came out decent
should I go to some other (female, more attractive) friends and show them some pics I've took and ask them "hey wanna model for me?" or what?
I really have no clue so I'd appreciate some inputs, thanks a lot.

I got the idea for this from a /p/ thread almost a year ago, before watching the neon demon
also I don't browse /fa/
I hadn't considered social media, that's an input alright, thanks

it's easy, you just need to follow these steps:

1) be a fag
2) buy a canon or a Sony
3) ask your slutty female and gay friend to take their pic
4) you're already a fashion tog. now charge for it

>>3086866
It's a little more complex:
1) be a fag
2) graduate in some artsy fagsy school
2) buy canon/sony
3)go to some fag fashion photographer's workshop
4) offer your ass to said fag tog
5) be assfucked for a year or so while working for fag tog
6) meet fag stylist
7) betray fag tog and offer your ass to fag stylist
8) be assfucked by fag stylist becoming his favourite fag tog

Pro tip: buy a big stock of vaseline to decrease the costs

I feel like the people who make it big are always the ones who have made a big 'shock factor' with their photos.

Ask Sarnehed, you two seem to have a lot in common!

Because nobody else will give a real answer:

Yes, start with friends, or anybody who will be patient enough to sit for you while you figure things out. Work your way up to strangers when you're comfortable enough. Start an Instagram for your photography and put your pictures there. Take the old pictures down as you get better. Find people through IG and offer to take photos they can put on their feed. Use hashtags and grow your follower count (see the big thread on that here). Shoot the friends and IG mutuals of the people you've photographed. You can work through a local network of folks pretty quickly and meet a lot of people that way.

You can contact modeling agencies, show them your port, and ask if they will send their models to you for photos.

You can try connecting with indie designers and manufacturers on IG as well, and offer to shoot photos of their stuff for free. Build a name and an aesthetic for yourself and network. Network with online magazines that match your aesthetic and submit shoots to them. Work your way up to bigger designers.

You can also try to become a photographer's assistant, because the mainstream industry is still based around paying one's dues. You'll be poor for a long time, but it will help you network and find opportunities.
