Try looking for local photograpy clubs.I was in one till a few years back when it folded.Like me if you're lucky you might found a club that will allow you free access to the club's photography studio and lighting equipment if it has its own.As for asking woment to pose..thats a hard one since women will act differently and some who love to be in front of a camera if someone had asked..and then you'll get a few who will give you the usual funny "Are you a Pervert" looks.Some will be flattered that someone thinks they're pretty enough to want them in front of thier camera.
A bit of advice....depends on how your work place is..don't ask Co Workers or someone who works in your building, you might end up being accuse of Sexual Harassment like what had happen to me once. (LOL)
