If you're using IQueryable lists here (from EF or NH, for example) you can use the AutoMapper.IQueryableExtensions methods, Project() and To().

This is my first time with AutoMapper, but I'm succeeding by creating a map for just the model:

Mapper.CreateMap();
Mapper.AssertConfigurationIsValid();

And then using the IQueryableExtension methods Project() and To():

using AutoMapper.QueryableExtensions;
...

IQueryable people = new List().AsQueryable(); //actually from ORM
IQueryable peopleVM = people.Project().To();
