+Travis Bean hired no.. I wish… Finding models I use onemodelplace.com or modelmayhem.com or word of mouth.. and I started a community here to try to connect models with photographers…. invite only for the reason I want to try to keep it to only actual people looking for models and models looking for people to work with vs. just fans…
And of course I cannot find the link to my own community … I will try to come back and post it…
+Travis Bean I honestly do it because I like to shoot photos… If I had to make a living I would pretty much starve or I would take up doing much more landscape and aviation work. Unless you get hired for a magazine or website I am not the one to ask about how to make money..
I also have a full time job.. well actually two at the moment other than photography so that offsets expenses and the need to sell images..
I have had some issues with selling images especially topless or nude work on many sites as they just do not support it.. right now 500px is really my best solution other than doing it myself.
So in a nutshell – I do it as a hobby that I have spent too much money on and probably way too much time, but I enjoy it and that is more important than money to me.. I rarely get time off etc – I use shooting as my breaks from life….to defuse for a partial day and lower my stress..
As with anything – its hard to get past certain levels… and the jump from adv amatuar or semi pro to pro is a big jump to play and be competitive in the marketplace…
+Brent Burzycki Thanks for the info. I really enjoy your work and know that it's a hobby makes it that much better in my eyes because I know you care that much more about the final result.
wish I could try it, grrr. OS version not supported.
Really…. What version?
Has to be 4.0 or higher and my phone (Motorola Photon) is not going to get any more updates:(
Ah yeh that can be painfull
Time to upgrade dude
Where do you find models to shoot? Are you being hired by agencies? Just curious

No worries. I won't be able to get back into photography until my kids are much older, but I prefer to shoot landscapes as opposed to people
One more, other than selling prints on 500 pix what do you do with your work?
