So...people keep insisting that I go into modeling for whatever reason to the point where I'm *kind of* considering it, so I was wondering, what inspired you to do it and what are some things you like and dislike about it and how you got into it and basically, any advice you have?
My unhappiness with the quality of my self portraits is what made me decide to start letting other people photograph me.
I like the opportunity to be creative, I love the feedback, I love having my name and face out there and being recognized and known. I love when people tell me I inspire them, I love seeing my photos on people's walls next to band posters and magazine clippings.
I dislike how it sometimes makes me feel terrible and not good enough when I compare my stuff to other people's, I hate having to shoot with my own clothes when I haven't bought or made anything in a long time and I have to try to find new and interesting ways to combine what I have. And it's frustrating if you put a lot of time and effort into a shoot and the images come back and they're not what you'd hoped. Or the photographer flakes on giving you the images and you don't get any at all. And it's frustrating when there aren't any photographers you like in your area and you have to drive or fly hours away to work with someone of quality (though the photos are almost always worth it).
Read this. Memorize it. Make friends with it. Lots of great advice here.
