Logan Grey the Photo Scam
There are photographers out there that claim to be professionals but are not. We call them GWC (Guy With Camera). Be on the watch out for these guys.
LG....the predator posing as a photographer.
Don't fall for it.
***MODELS DO NOT PUT YOURSELF IN THIS SITUATION!***
A photographer who pays for a model to go with him on vacation is looking for more than a subject to shoot. That is crazy. That makes you vulnerable in a foreign country and.your only means of getting home is in the hands of the photographer who paid for the trip. So lets.say he gets handsy or over steps his bounds and you say NO...well guess what? You would more than likely be stuck in a foreign country with no way of getting home. You would be at his mercy.
Watch yourself...
Do your research
You won't dlfind any "experienced" or "published" models shooting with him for a reason.
The ones that have dont make the same mistake twice.
LG is blacklisted by quite a few experienced models.
Anyone can take a snapshot.
GWC
Guy With Camera.
A guy who shoots mostly TFP/CD...is a GIANT red flag.
If a photographer is good. They should be booked with paid shoot for weeks. If they are credible the will be booked.
But the standard for photographers and models is...
If the photographer is making money from the shoot by selling the images or posting them on a website where you have to pay to view them...then THE PHOTGRAPHER PAYS THE MODEL. THE MODEL SIGNS A RELEASE STATING WHAT THE IMAGES WILL BE USED FOR.
If the model is selling the images or posting them on a pay to view site. Then the MODEL PAYS THE PHOTOGRAPHER AND THE PHOTOGRAPHER HAS TO SIGN A RELEASE.
IT'S A TWO WAY STREET SO TO SPEAK.
The person making money has to have the permission from the other party.
Who am I?
A person that doesn't want to see models.get taken advantage of. A person who will callout a person for doing wrong. Someone who cares about photography and the art of photography. LG has been taking advantage of young models who want to try to make something of themselves but unfortunately came in contact with a crooked guy with a camera.
Yes, in most cases a model release will state what the photos will be used for. Not just a general release. How do you feel giving g your time for free while the photographer makes money off of images of YOU!
This clown out of GP IS NOT a professional photographer and CANNOT get you published in a publication that is relevant.
All he can do is get people to click a link that leads to your picture....then he gets $$$$$$$.
You're better than that.
Ego will get you nowhere...photographers with chips on their shoulders are not the o es models need to shoot with.
Remember models, if you're NOT BEING PAID TO SHOOT. the photographer is not to make money off of images of you..
DO NOT FALL FOR THIS SCAM!!!!
Photographers who change their name or have an "alter ego" because their real name has a bad reputation have something to hide.
PROTECT YOURSELF!
DON'T LET THEM TAKE ADVANTAGE OF YOU!
Another red flag....photographers that give MODEL workshops.
First: A model should give a model workshop. NOT a photographer. This is some pathetic attempt to get a group of girls together so said photographer can take pictures because the old material isn't working for him.
Second: You should have some skins on the wall before you start touting your talent. A no name online "magazine" is not something to be bragging about or using as leverage to get models to shoot with you.
DO YOUR RESEARCH.
DO NOT SIGN A RELEASE UNTIL KNOW KNOW WHAT THE IMAGES WILL BE USED FOR.
IF YOU'RE NOT GETTING PAID, THEN DO NOT ALLOW THE PHOTOGRAPHER TO POST THE IMAGES ON A PAY TO VIEW SITE (PATREON, BENTBOX FANSONLY)
DO NOT BE SCAMMED BY THIS SO CALLED "PROFESSIONAL PHOTOGRAPHER"
Any photographer that complains about "pay to view" websites asking a photographer to provide a copy of the model release with the proper model identification....obviously has something to hide.
This is to protect the model and make sure you have permission to post the images and use the images to profit.
MAKE SURE YOU KNOW THE SPECIFIC USES OF THE IMAGES.
If you're not paid for the images, the photographer should not be making money from them...PERIOD. NO EXCEPTIONS!!!
Anybody who shoots 99% n**e is not a photographer. They are a perverted GWC. A real professional photographer will have a large variety of images. Also a real photographer WILL NOT have a closet of clothes for you to wear to satisfy their own personal fe**sh or fantasy.
PROTECT YOURSELF! DO YOUR RESEARCH!
DO NOT SIGN A RELEASE!
Ladies, always know your worth. If you're letting someone shoot you for free, then the images SHOULD NOT BE POSTED ON PATREON, BENTBOX OR ONLYFANS!
Remember if the photographer is getting paid to post your photos, then you need to be paid (money and images not just images) for letting him use images of you.
DO NOT SIGN A RELEASE FROM LOGAN OR KENNY!
Escorts should ALWAYS be allowed at shoots. No ifs, and or buts!
Photographers will claim they can get you published....An "online" Magazine is not really a magazine. It's more of I can get you "POSTED" on a monthly release of a PDF.
Be aware!
Ladies...if a photographer is using YOUR images to make money on Patreon, Bent Box or any other pay to view website. THEN THEY SHOULD BE PAYING YOU TO SHOOT.
The industry protocol is as follows...
1. If the photographer is making money, then you could be PAID for your for images to be sold or viewed on a website or whatever form of media.
2. If the model is making money from her personal website or if the model is being paid from a 3rd party, then the model should pay the photographer.
TFP - Trade/Time For Print or a copy of the images and nothing more!!!
It IS NOT you give your time, sign a release, and the photographer gets to make money off of your images by posting them on a website or selling prints.
Protect yourself!
WATCH OUT FOR THESE SO CALLED PHOTOGRAPHERS.
