Tough finding outdoor models in the winter for photo shoot?

9 years 2 months ago #423757 by Zorka
Vermont is beautiful this time of the year especially when we have fresh snow on the ground.  I want to get out and take advantage of this beautiful landscape, however all the models I have a called say they don't do outdoor shoots in winter months.  :blink:   I'm not talking about stripping down in your birthday suit while it's 30 below.  

Are you finding it tough to find models this time of the year.  My goodness, are models seasonal?

Why so serious?

LOL no kidding.  Winter time is for hibernating!  Where are you looking for these people?  You should take out an ad vs cold calling models.

We live in a society where money talks, perhaps you need to increase your pay if you want people to go out in the cold.

Isn't that the truth!  :rofl:  But can you blame them?

Move to California and have year round sunshine, models are easy to find here.

This got a chuckle out of me being an unintended pun.
I know this younger generation are a bunch of wusses. Back when I knew some girls who wanted to be models they would do swimsuit shots for their portfolio anytime of the year in Michigan. I even had one girl I knew that made snow angels in a bikini. She was a nut, but a fun one to hang out with. It showed they were willing to put in the work. But maybe that was a Michigander thing, we do have a slightly different mindset from normal people.

We should combine this with another thread and discuss the difficulty of finding outdoor nude models in the winter.
