Photographer Getting Weird

So, you don't have to worry about showing up in any major magazines without your knowledge (or proper payment).

Exactly. Without proof of your age, selling, publishing, or displaying nude photos can put him in close confinement with people he really doesn't want to know. If you find he is doing such with the photos, you have him by the shorthairs and the more he wriggles the more it's gonna hurt.

Seemed like a lot of red flags from the start, I really think most would have been a lot more cautious. Maybe this is correct, maybe it's not, but it appears that stroking your ego is the way around that caution so you might want to watch out for that move in the future.

twoplayful2,

Excellent thought. We are just trying to do the damage control thing now.

A Word To The Wise though!

As a professional shutterbug myself, I was appalled at this photog's behavior. There are WAY too many weirdos with a camera calling themselves "professional". It makes is hard for the real pros to be taken seriously.
