We have a new problem with the OP's portfolio. A cursory check of it reveals that some of the images come from glamour photographer's websites. Now maybe they took the images from you but then why do you have them in your portfolio with their watermarks? Now perhaps I stumbled on your "real life" sites except that they are in several areas of the country and also not in the Northern Central Texas area. That seems odd to me. Since you are asking these women to not only pay you in monetary terms but in "trade" as well, I think that they should know. Now at the moment I haven't taken the time to Google or tineye search your images but I wonder what someone who did that would find.i thought it looked fishy but the work is so lousy and the posting on flickr so lame i never figured anybody would take this posting seriously.
As a photographer myself I have to say that there is nothing lower than someone who claims someone else's work as his own. A professional level camera does not a professional photographer make. Originally Posted by babarumraisin
