what are the statistics?
I was promised candy and funny stories by them. Next thing I know they had me stripped down taking photos of me. 
Bottom line is that Verse is trying to do a good thing. His heart is in the right place.
Well thank you SHIFTY. Mind clicking me out of the red? =)

The red is your rep right now. You get rep for making a worthy or meritorious post. It's not just given out at random, it should be earned. Insulting people is a wonderful way to earn negative rep. I wonder how you got into the red to begin with...
:elaugh:

Not trying to be a dick but all we know is Verse is doing what he/she believes is a good thing.
I personally don't know what arrangement some of these girls had with this photog and I don't know Verse. If it's the case the photog is being erroneously/unfairly libeled, or this is some misplaced attempt at payback for something..then that's not a "good" thing.
Verse don't read into this that I'm challenging your integrity or being a dick about it. I'm just not assuming anything (of any situation generally) based on one side of a story.
I actually like the red rep bar. I have always preferrrrrrrred being infamous over famous.
I think you overstate your importance right away. Infamy doent exist on the board, theres being a good member and then being a dick.
its cool dude, you can't possibly offend me so none taken. i'll give you a star or green+ rep thing.
i'm sure your model friend(s) know by now what to expect when dealing with an adult content producer... typically a chill smoothie drinking beach bum idiot like me, college dropout, computer nerd with a house full of surfboards and rectangular ikea furniture, and more camera contraptions and attachments than the law allows. most producers more or less fit this mold. and we pay models for sex, which we film and sell, which in turn allows us to buy more smoothies, surfboards, and camera contraptions. its our business and livelihood.
was your model friend offended he tried to have sex with her? was the price not right? who knows all the ins and outs. i don't know either party but I will say that 99% of porn models who come into my house are getting paid to make some sex movies. i rarely shoot some mainstream stuff and when I do its usually for free as a favor. by the way i've heard that AZ is really starting to blossom into a mini adult production area i'll have to check it out

Instead of Fight Club that sounded a lot like Sex Club Shimmy.
Shifty
O.G.
Fair enough. If anything, it is a warning to any aspiring models that happen to read this ... :dunno:

You're out now.
I don't have a dog (or a model friend) in this fight. But I felt like you were trying to give prospective models the heads-up. So that's why I gave you positive rep.
Through an OCSM here I heard about another photog in Arizona (or it could be the same one) who pulled stunts like you described. Arguing over who owns the rights to the pictures is one thing - and that should be clearly spelled out in the contract. But one wouldn't think that a professional photographer would be trying to bang the models before, during or after a shoot. Again, one wouldn't think that a professional photographer would do that. I also wouldn't think that a professional model would trade sexual favors for pictures. But since I'm sure both situations occur from time to time, that's one reason why the porn business has the reputation that it does.
Anyway, "good lookin' out", as they say. :thumbsup:

Talia Shepard only shoots softcore & some girl/girl. So she definitely wouldn't be expecting to have sex with the photographer. He would have known that also.
Really? I thought I was joking lightly about the situation. I'm not being a dick to anyone.
Thank you Bella for coherent thought. I'd take a different bridge... The trolls definitely have this one under control.
You're out now.
Well thank you very much. And yes, thank you for noticing the simplicity of my post instead of turning it into something it was not intended to be. I also got kuddos from a few of the mods for the post as well. I'm not easily discouraged from freely posting. Especially when it brings positive feedback.
Well like I said, I probably wouldn't have been as quick to write the post if it was only her, because no, I wasn't with her at the time, and I don't know 100% of the details. It became an issue when other girl friends models/and non models started telling me they had similar issues with this shooter. I don't know the range of this board and who will see the posts I make outside of the regular boardies, but my intention was to put a warning just in case there is that one girl here who stumbles along my post and does plan on shooting with him. Just as any consumer report would display, I just put some issues out there that might not have been known otherwise. I don't hate photographers, webmasters, anyone who is legit. If your business is having girls hop on cam and you bang um that's totally cool man. I LOVE porn that's why I'm on this forum. I have plenty of respect for people who do what you do.
Yeah, I read the "How Rep Works..." thread, but thanks for the recap. Some subjects slip the mind if not used frequently.

When you consider that Arizona has become known as such a "conservative" state, it's kind of amazing how many of the amateurs and porn stars call AZ home. Just the ones you see around here: Chica, Jane Burgess, many of the FTV girls who post here (including Danielle) and I believe most of the Dreamnet girls are from Arizona. There are quite a few others here who list AZ as their homebase, but I can't think of their names right now.
There's got to be something about Scottsdale and Phoenix that makes girls want to pull their clothes off and grab a camera. In the time I've been here I've noticed exactly one girl from my state and another from North Carolina.
So clearly I need to find out what's in the water in AZ so I can import some of it. :elaugh:
could have something to do with the heat? just sayin :dunno:
I've been trying to figure it out as well, but I'll tell you what, ASU has the sexiest fuckin girls I have ever seen on a campus. Have lunch near by or even simply driving past and you seen countless amounts of 10s... It's almost like a factory... Surely, the genetics lab is cranking um out. I'm addicted to the girls here. Definitely a must visit local if you're looking for hot strange. I'm on a great streak here.
Ummm...yeah, but to be fair, given what industry where talking about being some content provider or producer in the industry doesn't necessarily mean anything at all when it comes to somebody knowing what they are doing. I'm also not singling out of Shimmy here but going by some of the other people on this messageboard that have been given the label of "approved content owner" FreeOnes doesn't exactly have strict standards when it comes to giving out the label either so neither means anything necessarily when it comes to things like this.
441 views, I'm glad the warning is getting seen. I'll notch this as an accomplishment for one of my first posts!
