Welcome to model mayhem.  It is really great that you are introducing yourself here.  I am going to make a few suggestions to help you navigate the site.   The best place to find a photographer to work with is the CASTING CALLS and TRAVEL NOTICES.  The Newbie Forums will get you a little bit of traffic but the other two places will let you target your area.  Also, please read the first three threads in the Newbie Section and the Forum Rules.  There is really valuable information there that will help you avoid some pitfalls.   You will also find some interesting threads through out the forums.  Some specific items of interest will be in General Industry, Model C and Photography Talk.  In these areas you will find threads about working TF and getting paid.  Some of the problems that people have getting their rewards for TF shoots.   There are also discussions about communication with photographers, handling rudeness, pressure for nudes and how to handle uncomfortable situations.   Since you are a minor, you should read the threads about working with minors.  I am, in fact, suggesting a ton of reading but doing it will serve you well and you will be prepared to handle the negatives that you encounter and enjoy the positives that will come along. 

Don't be afraid to ask questions.  This is a good place.  Sometimes people can react in a way that seems condescending.  It is good to use the search function and read before starting new threads.  BUT!  If you have a question, ask. 

We can only do Critiques in the Critique section, so if you want feed back on your port or profile, please go there. 

Good luck.  Have fun.
