Looking for a male nude model for your next project?

Here are 15 quick tips:

1. Ask a friend

You will have an instant relationship. And everyone knows at least one flasher.

2. Ask a lover

You’ve already seen them naked. So you know their best angles.

3. Place an ad in a newspaper

Try a job at a local university. Or better yet, on Craigslist. In the GIGS section you can try both the Talent and Adult categories. Be specific about what you are looking for. You don’t want to surprise them if they aren’t comfortable modeling nude.

4. Post a brochure at an alternative bookstore

If they sell erotica, you will have a receptive audience. Ask the cashier if you can leave some flyers on the counter next to the register. Or post them on a bulletin board if they have one. (Or ask the cashier if he seems interested.)

For these next ideas, first create some simple business cards. And be sure to include your phone number. You can get free cards online from various companies. Take them with you always. You never know when the opportunity will come.

5. Guys in your gym

Bodybuilders tend to be exhibitionists (duh!) but you don’t want to scare them off. It is better to talk casually first. Ask about his weight lifting routine. Then ask them if they’ve ever been approached about modeling. You will get a good idea of ​​your comfort level.

6. Changing room in the pool

It draws a different crowd than the gym. Especially good if you are looking for guys with a slimmer physique.

7. Model Agency

This is the most expensive method. But you’ll be spoiled for choice with the cream of the crop. To save money, choose a smaller agency. And ask them if they have male models who are just starting out and will work in exchange for prints for your portfolio. Just make sure they know up front that this is nude (but tasteful) modeling work. Today many male models are receptive to this.

8. Bus stop

Oh really. Spotting kids on the streets is a great way to find talent. And if they’re at a bus stop, you have more of a captive audience. Also, it means that they may not have a car and need some extra money. Just make sure you have a business card ready, so they don’t think you’re just trying to pick them up.

9. Disco

Nightclubs attract handsome and confident guys! And after a few drinks, they are in a good mood. So hand them your card in front of their friends. Tell them you are looking for new models. It will be a huge ego boost for them. And it is possible that they call you the next day.

10. Male escort

Some of them list themselves as models in their ads. And most of these ads leave little to the imagination. This will give you a good idea of ​​how they look in front. Just be sure to make it clear that you’re hiring them to model, and nothing more.

11. Beach

Again, this is another place where you can see a man’s body and decide if he has potential. A nudist beach is even better.

12. Strip Club

Join the club. Follow the rules (don’t be a bother). But if the guys see you naked too, you can create a good rapport. And casually mention that you do photography. He’ll probably get the guys to volunteer once the word gets out.

13. Art Instructors

Talk to the art teachers. Most have worked with nude figure models.

14. Local actors

If you provide them with a headshot in exchange for modeling, you may attract local actors. Just make sure they are comfortable with nudity. And spend some time during your session to take some traditional portraits.

15. Sauna at YMCA

It sounds crazy, but this is where you’ll find the biggest exhibitionists of all. Just don’t let your card get soaked by all the steam.
