: I've been in search of a model for a commercial fashion shoot and have been trying to book someone via www.onemodelplace.com. So far, I've sent out ten inquiries and have received only 2 replies.

That's pretty typical, really. And I'd say it's typical for any online model directory. There are no hurdles to being a listed model at OMP, they don't even require a photo to be visible. I've seen a 15 year old sign up repeatedly in Oregon, she even listed herself as available for nudes. No safeguards whatsoever. I finally had to cancel being notified of new models in my area, there was never anyone legitimate.
