Hi, sorry for this, but I come from a world of finding models I want to work with, and dealing with the agency.
How do I contact a model I want to work with, do I go elsewhere.

Note: I am not proposing to put anyone in danger. I would advise all models to check details, websites, SM and if not 100% sure take someone with you. Ideally MM to act as the agency.

Contact MM models through the site here.
Contact agency models through the agency.

"Note: I am not proposing to put anyone in danger. I would advise all models to check details, websites, SM and if not 100% sure take someone with you. ""

So you advise them, if they feel it is dangerous, to bring a 2nd person along to the dangerous situation, putting them in danger also?

My advice to them is to check the photographer's MM profile and portfolio and credentials, website, etc., to see if they are who they claim to be. (Google is also your friend) Then the model should directly contact some of his previous models checking his character and previous professional behaviour. I have links to all of mine. Due diligence is not substituted by having another warm body.

If, after doing the proper research, the model feels safe, do the shoot, If it does not feel safe, don't endanger a 2nd person, simply don't shoot!! (With that nervous vibe, the shots would be shit anyway)
