Headshots and info for models
I only recently stumbled across Zerotopia. Despite being a commercial website, they do have a rather specialised information section, attempting to help models - and people who would like to become models - along in their quest.
The vast bulk of the information is very well presented, and includes useful sections such as Headshots : Some things every model & actor should know and Advice for models. The latter covers a lot of info about contracts, how to work as a model, professionalism, tips about safety, and everything.
Despite being aimed at models, I believe photographers could also benefit from reading this, for a plurality of different reasons. The most important reason: You have to know what models expect when you work with them, if you want to be taken seriously.

Hey, I just wanted to say thanks for the link to Zerotopia. I’m starting to get into photography, so I’m looking for all the help/advice/useful sites I can get. I’ve added this site and Zerotopia to my bookmarks and will definitely visit again!!

I’ve been keeping an eye on photocritic.org for a bit now. I’m a mere amatuer who is looking to improve his skills, so I wanted to express my appreciation. I always learn something new from your blog. You’re definitely blogrolling worthy… Thanks. Matthew

Thanks for the tip about zerotopia, very interesting. I am always on the look out for international websites for matching photographers with models. The only one that I know is OneModelPlace, but it is much more focused on the USA than Europe. In Switzerland where I am, there are very few models listed there. Does anyone know such a website that is more focused on Europe?

To “Gene”: I believe “net-model.com” is more Euro-centric. Zerotopia actually has a links section which includes a listing of model and photographer portfolio hosts. You might also want to check that.
