RE: models... it's a bit momentum-based.... i.e. once you have a few great photos of your photogenic friends, getting real models to work with you is much easier, and they're much more likely to take you seriously and not flake, even if they do charge $$.... you'll also get better models....
good models don't want wanne-be photographers, the infamous "guy with camera" of "gwc" is what they fear and hate
good photographers don't want wanna-be models, they'd rather have "real people" or "real models" or maybe somebody with a good work ethic and is capable of learning who wants to be a model...
I have found that, once I email some good samples to any prospective model, even for a test shoot, everything goes better, especially if they've talked to anyone I've previously worked with.
This is very, very reputation based business, if you're nervous, people will figure it out, so practice a lot with patient friends.
