###### In this post, we will not talk about studio photography, white backgrounds and assistants.


If you are a crazy head like me and love outdoor photography, then you surely have a hard time finding quality models. High-end photography these days equals expensive studios, lots of assistants taking care of everything, and a hell of a lot of make-up… Seriously! In this artificial way, even a donkey can become the advertising face of everything / I have nothing against donkeys /.

Where did the good old commercials like the Marlboro cowboy one go? What I am trying to say is that real life is not found in a studio and it is so logical for big brands to think a little more realistically about their advertising stories. Forgive me. There is no story in these photographs. If I were shooting an advertising story for hiking boots, I would have my model accompany me to some place in nature. During our hike, I will be choosing places with great light to take pictures. Oh, I hear you scream, no self-respecting model would trek through the woods in the cold or heat for such a thing. Well yes, the business brought her there.

**So, let's go back to the beginning. How do you find the right models to tell photographic stories with?**


It makes sense, unless you're super lucky or the child of an influential person. to have practiced photography for years until you developed your style. During this time you have met various people that you have photographed. Even now you can think of at least two. Now let's imagine that a very large company hires you to create their advertising campaign. You will immediately call a model with whom you have shot many free sessions in wild places and know that you trust them.

**What if for some reason you don't know that type of model?**

You enter social networks. You mark people from your city or municipality and ask - Hello, I am a photographer who has an idea for a photo session in nature. Would you be my model and as a thank you will receive all the photos processed by me? No, you are not saying any royalty! You need someone who believes in and likes your idea.


This way you will always have models ready for any project. I'm telling you from personal experience!
