Hey - im aj, a freelance model, fashion designer, photographer & artist.
I'm an androgynous, petite, versatile model looking to shoot fashion, concept, art, etc. & build my portfolio.  I have a completely fluid look & love portraying both a rough masculine edge, but also a statuesque feminine physique depending on the scenario.

Does anyone on here have experience with either getting casted for or shooting androgynous models from MM? Are there any sites more specific to the photographer audience I am seeking?

I'm not terribly experienced, and don't feel qualified to give advice. I will give this thread a bump,  however, and offer that I love the looks in your port. I can see so many possibilities! I wish you success, and if I'm ever looking to shoot in NYC I would love to work with you.

I can't address your query, but if you pass through Raleigh-Durham, I'd love to shoot you.

I personally love to work with androgynous models; both male and female.

Let me know if you should ever find yourself in Los Angeles.

All the best,

Jorge

I have worked twice with a transgender person and he wanted androgynous images and/or ones that were unclear as to the gender of the subject.  We were both happy with the results, and I would happily work with him again.  As for how much of a market there is, that I do not know.  I pay models when I am being paid for the work.  Otherwise, the work is a trade and is personal projects for both (all) of us.  So far, I have not been asked for any androgynous images, but much of my income comes from science photography, not glamour or fashion.

AJ -

Commercial modelling is VERY height oriented. A guy should be 5-11 to 6-1 with about a 40 inch chest and a woman 5-9 to 5-11, to fit sample clothes.

As for MM, models any height can get shoots here - but most of the photographers here want to do very stereotyped glamour (think non-ironic 70s Playboy and "readers wives" shots...) And competence-wise, only about 1% of MM photographers can match what is already in your igram.

If you want to shoot arty fashion for your own purposes then your best bet is probably to use instagram or flickr to find someone near you whose work resonates with you and vv and shoot with them. Be at least as careful of your safety as on a dating site until you know someone well.

You have a great look and you are in NY: it shouldn't be too hard to find the right people to work with if you want to do arty trade shoots.

Have the same question but for the west coast, i'm an androgynous model in los angeles and so far i've just done random TFP shoots. It's hard to hunt down photogs interested in shooting androgynous sometimes.
