Photography and working with Models

Hi all,

I realize more and more that photography, as well as working with models, is a key part of creating realistic art. At least if you want to be in control of the image-making process from start to finish.

I was wondering if those experienced with photography and working with models (

@Bryce Liston

@Chris Legaspi

and others) can share how they got started.

How do you find models? How do you set up the studio, structure the shoot? How do you create a comfortable, professional setting? How do you get inspiration for poses, lighting, props? Do you have any resource recommendations for learning for photography?

Any advice on taking that step would be much appreciated!
