Don't know where you live but if you live by a photography/art school I'm sure a student would volunteer their time.Talk to one of the teachers and perhaps they can assign it for extra credit.You might also try the high schools or colleges that offer photography.

There are many. But they needed their wages. Are you ready to afford a huge wage?

I think that when you start looking at it, taking pictures of people doing everyday things has little to do with a photographer's style. A thousand different artists can take a photo but few will stand out at it. The style is what makes a photo interesting while exploring the mundane.

Look at the paintings of Norman Rockwell. Anyone could paint someone drinking a soda, but why were his paintings so memorable that practically anyone over 40 years old will remember at least a few of his paintings of quite mundane activities? How many people can't remember at least one of his paintings of children at a soda bar, or of Santa? Many people could identify his style if they saw one of his paintings. What about that famous painting by Escher holding a reflective sphere?

It's not the subject, but the context and style that are so terribly important.

Check out sites like nationalphotoawards.com and you'll see that it's what's unusual that makes a photograph interesting. You'll see lots of everyday things in a very unique perspective that will be really difficult to duplicate.

just write down photographers into google and you should get some links

It would help if you said what area you live in. I dont mean your exact address, but a decent location. If you was in my area, I would volunteer to help.
Good luck.

Richard Billingham took photographs of his parents.

His father is an alcoholic and his world is his flat. He lives with his wife and the photographs are about their everyday sort of life.

You could look at his work, it is interesting. He doesn't glamorise his parents he shoots them as they are, no dressing up etc. His work is very real to life which is its appeal for me.

Martin Parr is another photographer who takes pics of people doing everyday things, he also his a whole series of pics of the backs of people's heads.

go unto flickr or other photo sharing site look for 'urban photography' or just try people have you thought of going out and photographing people yourself?
