I used model advertising websites like onemodelplace.com.
I used model websites such as this to organise me photoing models, organising models providing photos of themselves, and organising photographers to take photos of their models on my behalf.
I had a photographers website online, displaying my work, with refferances, police clearances, samples of published work, a media licence etc. So they knew who they where dealing with. I always made sure i was never alone, and always had someone carrying stuff and holding light reflectors, and insisted the model wasnt alone aswell.
So yeah i made a effort to make a safe easy enviroment for all.
And I didnt photo very much nude except a couple of local girls, for a couple of shoots each, mainly because i didnt have any in my portfolio and wanted some. but it wasnt a area i wanted to do alot of. Most of my photos where small wet bikini type photos.
Nice looking 18yo girl in a itty bitty small wet bikini on a tropical beach, makes things pretty easy.. No studios, or lights or anything needed.
Lots of people around, public place. You meet them there, all pretty easy.
Nude studio type work, requires alot more effort and organisation which is hard to do from the road.
