Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:

Treat anyone who models for you professionally!. i!.e!. respect them and their limits, explain what you are looking for out of the shoot!.
Ensure that they have regular breaks etc etc

Basically treat them in the way you would expect someone to treat your mother or sister!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Your hobby is amateur, so you are not a professional!. Have you any qualificaltions in photography or belong to any professional bodies!.

You need to be very clear what you are trying to achieve and how to get it!. also where do you draw the line, fully clothed etc!.

Have a portfolio ready so that customers can request to see it (perfect pitures only)

You need a clear idea about what mood the customer is trying achieve, very important!.

I am a photographer as well!. But I don't hire models to work for me I just use my friends!.

You can joke around with them and you can also be serious with them!. Plus they will be more willing to do it!. They think its super cool, but then again all of my friends are art students too!.

Hope I helped! Www@QuestionHome@Com
