Hi everybody.
I was resently contacted by a photographer who got my email address from the models club forum about solo smoking fetish work in the isle of wight. When I checked out his website I realised that some of the photos he was using were taken from two of the smoking fetish websites that i've worked for.
This was comfirmed when i emailed one of the smoking fetish website photographers. He is now sending the fake photographer who is using his photos a bill for copyright theft and trying to get the website closed down.
I thought i'd see how far the fake photographer would go, he wanted me to do a hotel shoot in the isle of wight, when i asked for references he said he couldnt give me any due to the data protection act, i've never heard that excuse for not being able to provide references before. When I asked him to get some of his models to email me a reference. I got emailed a reference from a fake model. The photographer must have made a fake model email address as this model doesnt exist.
I thought it was shocking have far he was willing to go to get me to do the shoot and I was worried that new models may fall for his act.
If you would like this fake photographers email address or link to the website with stolen photos from smoking fetish websites email me:- paradise_summers@hotmail.co.uk
Stay safe everyone and always check references before agreeing to do a shoot.

Hey Paradise,
hope you are well.

If I were you I would post over on the UKAP forums as they let you name and shame over there, and it would be a more public way for people to see the information reguarding your warning rather than you e-mailing everyone who asks as I bet everytime something like this happens, every model who sees it will want to know who it is.

Cheers

Paul
