There are many ways to find someone to shoot your test shots. You can locate professional photographers by asking local agents who they would recommend to take your head shot and or commercial photos. There is a great organization www.asmp.org that has over 5,000 photographers. Try finding a photographer near where you live. You could even try getting photos taken free by contacting the photography instructor at a local college or university to see if there are students interested in taking these great commercial shots.
 
Before spending money on printing a composite sheet with your new photos, I would suggest printing a sample comp card from a local printer on an 8.5x11 piece of plain paper. You can have four photos on the front with your name, contact information and basic statistics.

This layout will allow you to clearly show your photos and different looks to agents. If the agents like the shots, then you can get regular comp cards printed. If the agents don’t like the photos, then you only spend $1.50 on printing costs.
 
I spend 26 pages in my book, How to Become a Successful Commercial Model, teaching people the best way to create strong photos for their comp card and head shot.
