Wish I could speak for the UK, but the educational system there is different than here. IN the US we have private colleges and universities, state colleges and universities and local community colleges and two-year colleges and technical schools. Many of them have courses or programs of study in photography.

The problem is where to locate them. What department of the school is responsible. I've had a course taught in the science department, courses taught by art departments and two and a half semesters of technical training. You have to contact the schools in your area and see what is being taught.

The other tried and true method is your local newspaper. Usually they employ photographers and they often have private projects they like to shoot and may be looking to upgrade their portfolio. If so, then you might be able to trade posesfor pix.

When I was in the early stage of my career, I had high hopes of moving on to better things and shot every photogenic girl I could find to make up a glamor portfolio that would take me to the big time--never happened--but it was fun and all the models got copies of their work.
If I haven't been there, I'm still planning on going!
If I haven't done it, I've still got time to try!

Rachel,

I suspect that since you are in Liverpool there will be several opportunities for you to model for trainee photogs. Like Charles says you could look at the university to start with. They probably have courses that include photography. (media, arts, journalism all probably have a section on photography). I suspect that if you call the uni they would be happy to have volunteer models.
Other than that you could try local camera clubs or photography night classes held in your local community.

In the non professional category is amateur which may not necessarily mean trainee. There may be some people that are very competent photogs but chose photography only as a hobby.

You could try searching the photog section here in Jurgita or on similar site.
I did a quick search on modelmayhem for photogs in Merseyside and found 41 listed. It didn't specify whether they were pro or not, you would have to go through them one by one. You could also try onemodelplace as well.

Good Luck Mike

Well Rachel,
I think it is very easy to find photographer that will take some pics of you on TFP basis.
Like Charles and Mike said just search through your local community and it will solve your problem. You can also find them here on jurgita, just go through some profiles of photographers in your area and I'm sure you will find one.
Let us know if you managed to find anyone :)
Cheers

A search of Jurgita brings up these in your immediate area. This is not an endorsement of those photographers, you need to vet them for yourself.

I see a number of them without images. Sigh. Time to go unverify them. Cleaning up a bunch of rule breakers from years past.

Word of advice to all: Don't get involved with a photographer who will not show images of his work.


Another thing with universities: Many of them pay for the models they use for art and photography classes. You may not have to volunteer. Nothing better than getting paid and having images for you port and having a university listed on your resume. If you work with a university, though, make certain you know how to pose, are willing to follow strict instructions and can hold up under the pressure of a dozen photographers snapping you picture at once.
:cantlook: Have faith that the universe will unfold as it should :cool:
