I think that until about April this year I'd had a pretty enviable record of models turning up for shoots. The odd model a bit late - but in general it was pretty cool. I wondered why all the rants about no shows on modelling sites and so on and so forth.

I could though pretty much shoot when I wanted , at short notice etc  - then from early April I had to re-jiggle my personal schedule which meant that I had a much smaller window when I was available to shoot so needed to book shoots for specific dates in advance. I 'd also decided that I was going to try and work with some suitable models that I hadn't before. Nightmare.

With no shows and cancellations I 've managed one proper shoot in four months and the booking for August (Booked months ago) is looking decidedly worrying  :-(

I've spoken to a couple of other local photographers and whilst not quite the same scenario they've been encountering similar problems. Is the 'internet modelling' phase coming to an end ?

If it is where the heck do I get models from ?

Looking back through the pictures I've taken over the last few years quite a few of my favourite models have now given up or no longer shoot nude and there doesn't seem to be very many serious new models replacing them. The models that I would work with I have let know and hope to get something off of the ground at some point but generally speaking there are logistical problems that thwart it.

Anyone else having these problems?

Also put together (another) new website:

Its generic I know but if anyone would like to offer an opinion I'd be grateful.

I'm a digital painter. I pose nude for free in exchange for copies of the photos. Lately I've been doing shoots by myself because it's easier than finding a reputable photographer. There are too many perverts to sort through. too bad you live in the UK! I love your work! :heart: good luck
