I would make those model functions (it looks like they are query type functions anyway) and then - so long as the User model is related in some way to the Photo model - you can access it like this: $users = $this->Photo->User->getAllUsers(); If the Photo model is not directly related to the User model (perhaps they are linked by a Photographer model) then daisy chain the models: $users = $this->Photo->Photographer->User->getAllusers(); You get the idea...
