He used his photography as a way to try to communicate with me on levels that have nothing to do with the photoshoot. I didn’t mind being nice, but I made sure to put my foot down anytime he crossed the line. He said his inappropriate comments were just jokes, and I believe it because I thought he would be more professional being he shoots celebrities. But after this experience it’s clear he used it for predatory purposes. I got a bad vibe in ATL, so I paid my own way and paid for my hotel.. and all my needs. This was an unpaid shoot, but agreed to be a trade off so we could both use great pictures toward ours brands. But unfortunately went sideways, because I didn’t want to stay with him even though I told him I don’t need a place to stay, for I have friends in ATL and can get my own hotel. Then he had a whole different mood at the shoot because I went “clubbing” with my friends instead of dinner with him. Needless to say.. he didn’t send me any of the photos I asked for. And the photos that are supposed to be “implied”.. he didn’t cover my private parts I asked to be covered and then posted the picture a month after I told him I didn’t agreed with the picture being released in that manner because it was in bad taste and didn’t represent me or my brand. As you can see in the text messages below.. all I asked was my boobs be covered.. and he made it about “men I sleep with” and “clubbing”.. when none of that is his business, or the issues; for we came together for work! Trying to harass me by posting bad taste photos, and demeaning my request by playing dumb, or bringing up what I do in my free time is insane for he was just the photographer for one damn shoot! I only known of him for a month before we worked together. It’s clear this man thought I was going to get to ATL and hang out with him even though I told him I’m only there for business. Since I didn’t hang with him or give him attention, he threatens me with copyrights to expose photos I didn’t agree with, and stating he will hurt my career with “the industry will know”. He is a predator! So if you work with him, make sure contracts are involved, make sure you get all of the photos to decide what pictures you want edited and distributed. And only deal with him during the shoot and have people there with you! Don’t do “implied” shoots because no telling what he is doing with the photos. (Photos of the text are post on Google review and Yelp).
