Welcome to the Mayhem hienvy

You should try to get signed with an agency.

Good ways to network are:

Post an availability notice letting people know that you are available (under the casting/travel tab). This is for when you want to charge money. You can offer trade as well.

Search for Casting Calls in your area based on criteria you select. Post a Casting Call letting people know about an idea you have and want to put into a work of art. This is for when you are willing to pay other people. You can offer trade as well.

Search or Post Casting Calls and Travel/Availability Notices
Official Casting Call Rules - Read
Find the talent and resources you need on Model Mayhem

Browse for photographers in your area and leave comments on images you like, send a friend request or message. Start a list of photographer's photos that you think are top notch for photographers in your area. This can become something of a Rolodex. Make sure that you select the Advanced Options and select an appropriate Logged in within:. I typically use 30 days, but you may want people who respond faster. Otherwise you will get photographers who haven't logged in in over a year. There are a lot of inactive accounts.

Make an announcemnet. Look on the front page for members offering comments for comments, and comment on their photos. Also make an announcement yourself.

Post a bulletin by going to My stuff > bulletins. Friends can see the bulletins you post.

Be active in the forums, but avoid trolls who start threads just to watch the ensuing flame war. Avoid threads that beat the deadhorse over GWC's, flakes, escorts, ..., etc. Make positive constructive comments. Whenever you get published, add some new photos, or accomplish anything in general, post an announcement in the Accomplishments, Achievements and High Fives forum.

Share your other accounts on the Social Media User Name Sharing Thread.

Good luck in your search!

Welcome to the party, Carol!

I can only suggest that you start by filling in your details. If you're not really particular about what caliber of photographers approach you for work, then disregard that advice. If you're wanting to have a professional looking profile to (hopefully) attract professionals in the industry, you should be thorough and accurate when it comes to profile information. Just a thought.

You will find some VERY informative and educational reading at: newmodels.com. Filles de Pin-up offered some excellent advice and links.

Be safe, be educated, be informed and be ready for the influx of unbelievable offers you will be receiving in the next few weeks. It WILL happen. I tell all new models this... don't believe ANY of them. None. The 'too good to be true' offers will begin to taper off in a few weeks. That will give you time to read up and be able to spot the real stuff from the crap.

I look forward to seeing your port expand and show some diversity. You have potential. Use it wisely wink

The only complaint that I have about you is that you are so far from me.  Welcome to the site.  I am sure that you will do well!

And POOF... the OP has deleted her profile.

And... the first guy to shoot with her has deleted his profile as well.

Hum... kinda makes you wonder...

There was some confusion. My profile is back up and running and I'm ready to start booking new shoots. I've uploaded a few new photos from a recent shoot, check them out!
