I know a lot of photographers start with other styles and then branch out from there. For me I started with nude shoots; before then I was part of an online community that shared selfshot nudes with each other and we all edited each other's photos, so I basically began by learning (and developing) interesting edit concepts and techniques.
It's possible my first nude shoot was this waitress who saw my edits and liked them. I remember I thought she might be embarrassed to share the photos, so I was really surprised the next time I went to her work and the staff got all excited saying, "That's the guy!" and they gave me free food.

I always wondered how someone went about asking their first model to do a shoot

Great question! I'd have to dig into the hard drives to figure out what my first one even was! Woulda been back in my iPhone-only days. Got some gems from back then.
