Last weekend I visited the Zoom Experience photography fair in Utrecht. Besides the regular suspect like Canon, Nikon and Sigma showing their gear and the sales booths selling all kinds of photography related stuff, there were also some opportunities to learn something. Several booth had models posing, and there was a fashion show. 
Great opportunities for me to try out this kind of photography. Unfortunately the model to photographer ratio left something to be desired but I nevertheless managed to get some practice. You can find the results here.
So check out photography events in your neighborhood, you might learn something there.
Happy shooting
