Style, models and compromise

Looking at my work, the pieces I most like, the reference library I've made myself and what I'm looking for when I search for a new photo to work from I've come to some conclusions about what I like to draw; style wise. My ideal type of model to draw is ones with an androgynous grungey aesthetic, usually thin with definition lots of layers of various materials and awesome semi short but still stylish and interesting hair, almost look more like feminine men than women (men who look like this also work though. The issue is of course even in fashion magazines and blogs people with this style are hard to come by, there aren't that many professional models who I can find who even are androgynous. The best thing example I can find is Erika Linder a Swedish androgynous model who is rebound for doing both male and female modelling. Due to this a lot of my work is of a compromised sort of grunge/alternative style images from magazines and blogs, or of women in suits because it keeps the stylish androgyny theme going a little more.

The issue with this however is when it comes to taking my own photos. Even compromised already it's tough to find people with a suitable style in Huddersfield (especially with cheekbones as well, another important factor). I've found a few models who actually fit the aesthetic I want very well but mainly I just have to work with what's available. This is helping me figure out how to use certain poses and my style of drawing to make my models more inline with the style of models I would ideally want. It's not ideal but I'm figuring out how to make it work.
