There are alot of modelling sites which photographers can also list themselves on... OMP is already mentioned.. two others are and
I can recommend MuseCube as I got alot of work via that medium with legit photographers.
The way I worked was I stated I was an amateur model and open to TFP. The only conditions I placed on my TFP work (since it would involve nudity) was that we shared copyright of all photos and that I required a copy of all the photos (incl. the lame not so good one) on a CD.
I required shared copyright so then I could publish them on my site (at the time.. it is still up however I'm slowly shutting it down).
I would always meet the photographer in a public place (ie Starbucks) to look over his portfolio and to allow the photographer and myself to see if we are comfortable with each other.. plus work out any details of the shoot beforehand.
I would always have the meeting a week to 24 hours prior to the actual shoot NEVER the same day as the shoot.
For any photographers I was working with for the first time, I would only allow them to do outdoor locations. I only do indoor/studio work with photographers I have worked with before and have subsequently prooved their professionalism.
I will never allow myself to be video taped unless I bring the video camera and the tape (hence the equipment and tape is all my property).
I've only ever classed myself as an amateur model (since I was doing it as a hobby of sorts) and did all TFP shoots.
BTW.. I made sure I stated the condition about the photographs being shared copyright and making sure that the photographer agreed via email so then I have a copy of that agreement. Both parties win in this deal: the photographer can then sell my photos and so can I.
