anyone use OneModelPlace?
 

I think I'm going to buy a membership. Anyone have any luck finding models there?

No.
Hell no.
And Fuck no.

Nothing but bad experiences and bullshit from that place. I am sure it is better in other cities but Portland and Atlanta are fucked. :2 cents:

Elaborate on your bad experience Aaron, I'm curious. Oh and throw an ICQ my way... I'm in SF now.

where is the best place to find models ?

I'm not in the mood to go into many details but I can tell you that the local and Atlanta responses have sucked ass and I am personally not a fan of photographers posing as the models so that they can negotiate the deal and collect as a middle man. I have no problem with them playing mr agent man but do it up front and honestly.

And that's all I have to say about that. :glugglug

if one has a potential model or 2 whats the best way to be a middle man?

Hmm, interesting. Kind of reminds me of GFY in a way, with guys here posing as female models, instead of as their photographers.

Aaron touched on this subject. You should be up front, say you're an agent and NOT pose as if you're the model. If you do, you will piss actual photographers off, and I will come slap you with my cock. :glugglug

No One likes a middle man. That crap only works in LA or Vegas.

Just trade the numbers one for one with other producers. Thats the best way. Whores are like manure.. It's only good if you spread it around. I normally trade a few numbers a day with local producers in my neck of the woods. That's the best way to do it. If you are a so called "middle man" eventually the girl will start booking gigs behind your back anyway. Just trade the numbers with other producers and share the wealth. :thumbsup

We've found a couple girls on OMP to do girl/girl shoots with me.
We're in Atlanta. The only problem is the amount of money some girls consider their hourly rate....when they are unknown and some aren't pretty at all.
But for the 2 girls we've found it was worth the $40/year or however much we paid for a membership.

Fuck off. Either you are an agent or you are not. Just because you know a few strippers does not make you a valuable commodity.

fuck that place, my wife gets 100's of emails a week from there and NOT ONE LEGIT DEAL HAS BEEN MADE.....maybe i am a ltitle off, there may have been one or two, but very rarely

and as a photographer/producer on there, not one girl is good looking, and the few that are worth the effort to email don't do dick

i wasted money on 4 months membership that shithole with not one girl to show for it....the 3 I did try and book for shoots never showed anyway...

aaron is right, fuck that place

not to mention the 8 year olds mixed into the naked girl pics...WTF?

haha yea fuck that shit. well then where is a good place for models?:helpme

do you have a model call on your site? do you use the model forums? I would say this is your best bet as these are where I get 80% of my work, 10% comes from places like OMP and the other 10% is word of mouth....send me an email, ill pass you to a bunch of awsome forums that are pretty active and Free.....blonde _ 8420001 @ yahoo . com

OMP is not a very good place to find porn models, but it is valuable in giving you credibility, especially if you can back it up with a serious photographer web site.

You are more likely to get referrals from other producers.

The problem contacting new models is that they are hit with 100 emails within 24 hours of joining. It is hard to stand out.

And there can be exceptions. Just another tool to use.

Find the answer to that, and you will make a lot of money.

These agents suck huge. A real hottie appeared on OMP, and my email went to her "agent". The dude had her, and her alone. We booked the shoot, I emailed a detailed list of clothing, props and what the shoot entailed. She had not even read it when she showed up.

All she had was lingerie, when I needed casual outdoor clothes. She was initially pissed at him.

I tried to rebook, but he wanted to up the price, to recover. She got pissed at me cause I wouldn't pay. She soon disappeared.

Fuck the suitcase pimps....

:rasta

Anyone tried www.models2hire.com ?

I like where he is going with it.

But Monika is the only Canadian model right now.

I will register.

Yeah I go more with this camp of things.. I've had a listing on onemodelplace for something like 4 yeras now, and although I've not gotten a lot of girls from there, it's nice having an online portfolio in that kind of place leading to my site. In fact I've gotten more leads from girls coming to the site then I have from OMP itself using their system.

I had a membership to OMP for awhile. I booked a total of two models in 4 months. Most of them gave me responses like "my going rate is $1000 a day." Very few of them were serious models and even fewer who put "Adult nude" were actually interested in adult nude or knew what that meant. Even worse, occasionally you have a girl who puts up an incredibly sexy nude pic but doesn't do nude.

In general OMP is a joke...

I have hired quite a few girls from there.. so Im guessing I have lucked out.. but i hate all the wannabe pimps, all the girls with webcams that want $1000 a day for thong pics..etc...

Is it worth it? For me it has.. but then again I dont pay and I have a silver membership! :thumbsup
