D Allen Photography

do not allow escorts at my shoots under any conditions for any reasons.  A photo shoot is a cooperative effort between a photographer and a model.  The only thing that escorts do is disrupt that harmony and get in the way so I simply do not allow them.  The only exception I will make to this rule is in the case of a minor (under 18 years of age)

BRING ANY ONE TO THE SHOOT WITH YOU

HE WANTS TO GET HIS WEINIE WET

HE SAYS THIS

My name is James Glendinning. I am a 37 year old photographer living in Orlando Florida and working out of Orlando, Daytona Beach, Melbourne, Pompano Beach/Miami, & Tampa.  I am available for travel in Florida and other states.  I've been taking pictures seriously for 18 years with an eye towards art. I've exhibited in shows throughout the southeast and won several awards. While I play with digital most of my serious work is done in film.

BUT HE ALSO SAYS THIS

My full time job is selling wine, and paid photography work is done to support my art.  I enjoy working with new models and helping them develop beginning portfolios through TFP/CD arrangements to better their careers and my artwork.  I'm here for the love, not the money, so send me some feedback!

SOUNDS LIKE A SCAM TO ME

HE SAID THIS ABOUT ME

Well, if you want to start around page 98 of this thread:

And read on for about 40 pages you can see a SPECTACULAR melt down by the manager of a model named Kristylynn that resulted in her being permabanned from the site (she and her manager have both now also been banned from OMP) for, among other things, revealing members' personal info & calling several members (including myself and John Jebbia) and threatening to kill us.
Probably the craziest manager ever.

update 12/01/07

on MM,

They've apparently been stalking me here on MM.  The quote from me on his page pointing people to the old Escort thread is less than 2 weeks old.
Everyone found out about that page from me, and *I* found out because his wife messaged me a little hate letter on MySpace that included the URL of the page.
Apparently he's holding a grudge lol

The main issue *I* have is that, like with the death threats being easy for Jebbia to brush off but harder for me, this guy lives 45 minutes from my house & he works in the same market area I do.
Last thing I need is for a client here in the area to Google me & find that & say "How come you're on this page?"

There's a major difference between some of us pointing out the fact that his wife is a whore (in the strictest sense, they offer sex for money with her or did at the time the comments were made) and him implying or directly stating that we rape our models & sell them in to sex slavery

NEW T

Convicted Sex Offender, who has been sexually exploiting many Models

 

He goes under the false name "John Apollo" and his websites have been:
www.BikiniPhotoBank.com , www.JohnApolloPhoto.com
, www.MissouriBikiniTeam.com
and further back he had www.ApolloMediaGroup.com and www.Apollo1Media.com
Formally located in Kansas City, Missouri under his real name Kevin Todd Rew has has now been living in Mexico, and rumored to be moving to Europe.  Alias he has gone by are "John" and "Todd", currently going by "John Apollo" and "Johnny"

After some research here is what I found on him in public records:

Was found guilty of two felony counts of attempted sexual exploitation of a child!

WARNING!!! - Photographer who SCAMMED ME!!!
"Cy Jariz Cyr" www.CyJarizCyr.net located in Orlando, Florida

For starters, I scheduled a shoot with two female Models, Elizabeth from Orlando and Liz from Tampa, with Cy for a 1pm-2pm meeting and then to shoot until sunset (6pm) on a ranch he knew of.  The DAY BEFORE the shoot he emails me with this:

Hello Jim,
3pm is now the earliest I can meet tomorrow.  I just scheduled a gig from 8 - 2pm.
Cy.

Mind you that Liz was driving 2 hours from Tampa to Orlando for this shoot, which is now going to be for only a few hours with 3 Models for "couple" and solo shots.  Well Elizabeth and I were at the location at 3pm and Cy was not.   I called his cell and he said he was still a ways away and didn't even have his own car yet to get to us.  I told him that I saw an area closer to where he was so we would meet him there instead.  He agreed and Elizabeth and I went there to find good settings to move the shoot quickly since now we would have barely any time at all to shoot since the sun was setting in just a few hours.

He finally arrived around 5pm and shot one roll of Elizabeth and me, but it was under a bridge with trees around so the low sun was now causing it to be too dark and casting too many shadows, so I told him of an oriental gazebo I saw that was in an open park, so we went there which is where Liz met up with us, after having her go from the ranch, to the bridge, to now the park after her 2 hour drive.  Elizabeth was fine with just Liz an me shooting at this point, so Liz and I had about 15 minutes of sunlight left to shoot at the gazebo with some martial arts stuff, then some sunset lovey-dovey stuff at the waters edge in the park and some running, which Cy continued snapping off a lot of shots with the sun already down, so most shots would be silhouette, so I didn't see a reason for him taking so many.

He then called a Photographer friend to see if we could use his studio to finish the shoot, which we did.  He shot off a good 4-5 more rolls there, as he probably shot a good 5-6 in the park already.  We parted and all was cool, I forgot to bring my Model/Photographer Release with me for him to sign so I said I would mail it to him since he seemed cool and trustworthy (which is a word that should never be used in the entertainment industry).  Then 1 month later I began emailing about the arrival of the images and I received this from him:

"Hey Jim,
I'm waiting for a few people to pay me until I can develop the photos.  Should be soon.  What kind of usage ideas do you have for them?  Is the release on its way to me?
Thanks again, Cy"

This is why I hate shooting with Photographers who shoot film, they can't afford the development, but they go click-happy during the shoot without thinking of the costs of development they will have.  Then after almost 3 MONTHS later of not getting ANY images and not receiving ANY emails from him, he responded to my last email with this:

Jimmy,
Images made by me, are my imagesNot yours
If you're truly interested in receiving the photos, Please send me $250 via paypal to cover developing and shipping charges, and then I'll sign your contract, and we can share profit.  I had no choice but to use a film camera that day.  I was in the process of purchasing a new digital camera.
Elizabeth is a paying customer of mine, and she has also helped me find other work. I don't know why you have decided to bring her up in this, I have photographed about 50 jobs since our shoot.
Cy"

Elizabeth is a paying customer to him because of me!  I arranged her to shoot with me with him, so he met her through me!   She is a PAYING customer because she is buying the FULL rights to the images.  I brought her up in the emails because she told me that he has shot her solo since our shoot together and she has already gotten and showed me the images from them.  He "had no choice but to use a film camera"???  That's because that was all he had!   If he wasn't wanting to pay for so much film and developing then he shouldn't have gone click-happy.

ADVICE to all Models - Be sure to get a signed release BEFORE you shoot with anyone, no matter how well you think you know them, or how trusting you think they are!

David Hardman is a very very scary character! He operates within an inch of the law and as a consequence has until now evaded arrest for what he does!

For several years he has photographed and operated pay for sites for barely teen girls with the approval of their parents (Questionable) whilst others similar to him have been arrested and/or had their operations banned from the internet!

Here is an example of him via a news report:
http://www.wftv.com/video/13868778/index.html

Here are some examples of his current on view sites:
http://www.modelingdvds.com/home.html
Many of these girls on dvd were actually 13 or 14 when they did these initial poses! I have no links to his other sites, but by the sound of the news report they are really scary!

The reason I add this is that this man has recently tried to recruit again by attempting an audition notice a few days ago via a similar site to Jurgita! So please please be aware of this creep in case he tries here!

This piece of  garbage is one step away from molesting one of these children.If their parents are involved they also should be dealt with.
He's saying that the neighbors are turning against him,wonder why? They should run him out of there.When it comes to your childrens saftey,there is no step too far!

These people need to be wiped out. They are exploiting children for their sick desires. Pedo's are clearly using these to get off on. It is sick and it actually makes me shudder


Dave Hardman how does it feel to be catering to all the perverts
on the net? You are pushing the limits of the law, and you
are exploiting minors. Its gonna catch up to you, I know it and
you know it. How does it feel to have people looking at you, and calling
you a pervert behind your back. your one sick perverted boy, your not
a man at all. One of these days you'll get whats comming to you. Your
videos are disgusting, but I guess thats ok since your not man enough
to get a real woman, Your listed on the ripp off report, and I hope they fuck you
in the ass when you go to prison. Their going to get you one way or the other,

The Letter I Got From Him

More bah bah bah from ignorant assholes who know nothing about the law.
 
You wouldn't thick twice about renting a movie with 12yo Brooke Shields naked in "Pretty Baby"
 
But someone taking pictures and PAYING a 12 yo girl on the beach in a modest swimsuit bought at the MALL is illegal???????????
 
And feel you have the right to comment??????????
 
I've HAD no issues with the law. And each model gets a copy of all the pictures and DVD, so how could I have anything else? I have no interest in golden collections or sex.
 
Next time leave your real name and address if a 16yo in a thong bothers you.
 
Oh and by the way I'll be closing the dvd site in July and changing my business plan to a more accepted form of photography...and I already have tons of girls lined up to model.
 
In general people are ignorant assholes, I've had people call me names when I'm shooting 18year old and over models, yet they think nothing about the person shooting the accepted adultporno flicks. So I could care less.
 
Unfortunately I do not sell to all the perverts, as I would be
richer than Bill Gates, instead of working two jobs.

My 2ND Letter To Him


The only difference between adult porn and what your doing,
Is the girls that are doing porn are of legal age, and it's
there choice
not the parnets they have more of an understanding
of what they're
doing. And you say modest swim suits, what you are
dressing these girls in
is far from modest, the clothing they are in, are made for
ADULT females not
young children. And these girls are not movie stars either...
Not only are they
having a rough life, doing this to these girls is not
helping them at all, your making
it worse for them in the future. And I do have
the right to comment,
because Of photographers
like you, ,, it makes my job alot harder, because
we are not all perverts. And yes you do
have a collection of your perverted DVDS.
You may not have any problems with the law at this
time but you will...
Remember these are not consenting adults,
these are children that you are
photographing. You may not be selling to all
the perverts but you are catering to
their needs, remember this the next underage
girl that is found raped and murdered
the man that did it was he one of your customers ?
You are a pervert, true to the word, a real man does
not get his jollies off
taking pictures and video of underage girls. if you
would stop paying the
outrageous amounts of money that you are
paying these girls,
you wouldn't have to have two jobs, so tell me why is it
that your paying that kind
of money and working two jobs , if your not making
any money out of your photos and
DVDS? It's because you are feeding your
perverted needs,.... Am I wrong?

954-771-9035 EXT 103

my name is alton smith you know me

geno david shin ((( aka johnny nikon ))) omp # 162389

wrote to one of the models that i promote..that perticular was model was unavailable

so i set him up with a model which is raquel white..he ripped her off ..he didnt pay her

her number is listed below so you can contact her and here it from her yourself.

i only go after photographers that i have worked with that have shot my models

and that scammed them..i dont start the problems they do.

i only try to get what the model has coming to her and what was agreed on.

you will not find one model that will bad mouth me.

but im sure you will find photographers that will.

i sent you an email before this one..with a letter that rick kayne omp# 7788

where he calls omp model # 11846 a slut a whore a hooker.

why is it alright for him to send me letters from omp in this manner.

but it is not ok for me to inform other models of the dangers and scams

that other photographers are pulling on omp.

you should be concerned about this because it gives your website a bad name.

i dont look for trouble but i dont like the girls being screwed around by the photographers.

you are either part of the problem or part of the solution.

this is not the first time that i have ever complained.

what happens if something happens to any of the model here on omp because of a photographer i

that am complaining about ,, it becomes a liability on your part because you have been warned.

do you need that kind of trouble.

i think you have a great website but i think we need to get rid of the bad apples.

thank you for your time ..

sincerly

Eh. I've learned my lesson about being mouthy with the cops. Last time I had a run-in, I did the whole thump my chest bit. So, they ran my name and found a warrant

Male
Phoenix, Arizona

Shooting with me on trade is an excellent way for models to get on my preferred list for paying projects as they come available

Escorts/Chaperones: Chaperones will not be permitted on any of my sets.

Travel: I frequently fly models in from out of town. If you're interested in coming to Phoenix for a weekend, please hit me up. I'm certain we can come to an agreement that will be beneficial to us both.

I often fly certain models to Phoenix. I, like anyone else prefer to keep costs as low as possible. That said, I may suggest that the model stay at my place rather than a hotel.

Warning: Shooting with me may cause lustfulness and awe. I can take no responsibility should you wind up naked in my bed with a throbbing crotch and writhing in complete ecstasy. But you'll love every minute of it.

We hear it time and time again. About the photographer who cops a feel. Or grabs something he shouldn't. Or whatever.

Well, I've decided to offer my body and my camera. I'm going to let you photograph me. That's right. I'm offering the chance for a model to grope me, and grab me, and pull down her pants all while begging me to pull mine down too.

Make me feel used and abused. Violate me!

And I assure you. This is all in the name of research only. I want to see what it feels like and I promise, I won't enjoy a minute of it

This just occurred to me. But aren't models by their very nature attention whores?

1. This'll only hurt for a little while.
2. I'll only put the head of it in.
3. I promise that I'll never try to come in your mouth

It must drive you insane to know that there's nothing you can say or do to stop me from shooting or doing anything with the new models. You are powerless. You are weak! That would drive me insane too.

HIS REPLY TO ME LETTER # 2

Nov 29, 2007 7:43 PM

7:43 pm (9 minutes ago

Perhaps if you actually knew how to take a decent photograph, I'd be worried. But as it is, you're a hack. Like I said before. You are powerless. You're weak. Keep an eye on my portfolio. There's not a damn thing you can say or do that will have any effect on who or what I shoot. Chicks dig me. You're a clown. I have to go now. I have a shoot in an hour. No escort.

update 12/01/07

on MM

What is the best course of action when the perpetrator probably has no money to begin with?

Part of me says to just ignore it. The guy has absolutely no pull and the best revenge is to continue shooting and show him that he has absolutely no effect.

I could nail him for copyright infringement. He had two of my photos up on his page. Again.. he probably has no money and it would cost me a fortune to find out.

Defamation of character? Again, no money to be gotten.

He did post my own words. But taken way out of context.

I think the best course is to ignore it

omg.you've got to be kidding me.  Breaking "perverts" into 2 groups and telling people they don't need to worry about "casual" perverts because they're not going to rape or kill you is ridiculous.   I think you're giving out bad advice to impressionable people (people who read this board) and you really need to re-read what it is you write.   I see you have taught self-defense classes, and such, and think that's admirable, but telling people they don't have to worry about "the casual pervert" because he doesn't want to rape or kill you is a bit ignorant.  That's like telling children it's okay to take candy from the "casual child molester" who isn't going to rape or kill them, but may cop a feel or two.   Bottom line-  if you want to bring a respectable escort, discuss it with the photographer beforehand....if he/she says no, then move on.  Use your gut instinct-  if something doesn't seem right, it probably isn't.  And using a "driver" is a false sense of security-  might as well drive yourself.   I have never understood why people intentionally put themselves in positions where they can be harmed.

Ripoff Report

 

N2wldlfe Photography n2wldlfe Photography Model Mayhem #n2wldlfe Photography Model Mayhem #472353 liar, con-artist, scumbag, lies to models, takes their time does not give pictures, deletes pictuers screws them over then claims they're harassing him total psycho Orlando Florida

This is model mayhem #472353. You can't out these creeps on these websites because it is considered an injustice to the con-artist and thief who is screwing the person over. I shot with Davis/N2wldlfe about a week ago and with his frined. I set the shoot up with his frined and he happened to be a '2nd' photographer there. No worries they told me.. i would not get scrweed over by them...hilariously, despite telling them how I had been screwed over by other photographers, lkie many models in the industry aer, and not received pictures etc. I explained to them oh yeah I had these experiences, jokingly. Of course I explained to them how I would like the pictures right after the shoot for this reason-- of preventing to get screwed over. Once again....this con-artist assured me they were the 'Good guys' and I wouldn't get screwed over by them. It was almost funny since I never expected one of them would and never counted on it. He seemed like a nice enough guy.. not the type who would do that. 2nd photographers like that are usually out to take pictures for themselves and exploit people while on a shoot and a lot of times want to take advantage of people, but in this case, I was so reassured they would never do that to me, I didn't think twice about it. I explained to these guys how I had gotten scrwed over in the past, and try to get my pictures right away etc.. they know my story- along with horror stories of other 'models.' Despite knowing I had been screwed over and it wasn't even a major issue I had had in a while, n2wldlife/Davis photography intentionally exploited me shot with me, took advantage of me and didn't give me any of my picures, lied to me, made me wait in a parking lot 1.5 hours, berated me through email and when I finally gave him my email and requested a CD, he claimed he is deleting the pictures and is now claiming that he reported me to the website for harassment, when he is a thief and con-artist who isn't giving me my pictures, and seems like a psycho. It seems as if he is doing anything and everything to completely screw me over, he insulted my port and said the only good picture taken was by his frined, and that I was into porn. That day his frined took pics and he did too. His friend gave me a cd right after the shoot but the creep Davis, decides he wants to 'photoshop' pics and give them later. Of course I had a strong gut feeling he wouldn't give them.. and since he claims there were only 15 pics total I just said oh well who cares.. the pics looked bad anyway in the camera. But it was obvious he was doing 'something' ie wanting to screw me over. Next thing I know' this scumbag low life davis is bothering me for a shoot the entire next week. He is emailing me almost everyday to shoot"of course iwas reluctant to shoot with him b/c he never gave me the previous pictures' but because his frined seemed so cool and they were almost like a team I decided to trust him. Finally last Friday, I did a shoot with him, later in the day we decided to just get together though it was already late. I stood there freezing shivering in the cold taking pictures" with the understanding that I would receive my pictures after the shoot. Once we shot he said 'oh what are u doing in 30 mins' .I said nothing.. He said 'go grab some jeans I want to take some shots downtown.' Ok well at this point.. my gut told me.. don't even attempt spending more time with this jerk until u get your pictures because there is no guarantee you will be getting anything from him. I should have had him sign a contract, but again I just figured" he can't jip me out of pictures on the spot, and the main thing is all the reassurance that they were the 'good guys' and not out to screw me over, and I trusted them... So I said well can you get me a disk right now "anywhere' and then I can decide if I want to shoot some more. He finally made some phone calls and agreed to go to his office, I'll wait in the parking lot for a cd, and then we decide to shoot some more or not. I waited in the parking lot "30 mins passed by, 45 mins..finally I was thinking.. ok what is going on here?? I called him, no answer constantly.. he said eh had to pick a girl up' and was in his office. Ok? I waited another 30 mins and after calling many times and upset I left.. at this point I was like. ok im getting screwed' so I called his frnied who said 'well you didn't pay for the pictures and maybe he had family time' and was almost trying to defend this jerk.. and I was thinking excuse me? U don't tell someone youre bringing them a CD and then leave them in there 1.5 hours. I figured.. well maybe something happened who knows. As I got home I got an email from him where he claims he had an ˜emergency procedure' to do and said sorry. I said that was fine and is everything ok. Ever since I asked him if everything was ok he was being rude and insulting me through email saying 'well most ppl don't give out pictures like that' etc, etc... I explained to him that wel everyone is different and it's what u agree upon on a shoot, not what people do... if u agree to doing this.. then u do it and u can't back out or say something different. It didn't matter¦ .he continued almost berating me thru email and complaining that because on my way to meeting him for the shoot I said 10 mins but in fact b/c of traffic took 20 mins I made him wait in a parking lot.. which wasn't even a legitimate complaint for claiming someone was late---waitiing 20-25 mins? Then he continued degrading me thru email¦ .and it was obvious he was on a powertrip…to keep my pictures, make me basically have to take his crap or kiss up to him¦ just to get my pictures, which I wasn't about to do¦ after enough of that I just said to him that we argeed on me receiving a CD and that he can't send all those pictures through email...His response was 'where did u get THat number from' I am done with this converastion...the scary thing is.. how he came across as the 'good guy' who wouldn't screw u over and on top of that.. he is now acting as if I'm harassing him...when he is the thief who screwed me over and is keeping my pictures from me...he is a total psycho, and it's funny because I told him abuot other creeps I had experiences with...and then he turned not only into the same creep but even worse, because he didn't give me any pictures, and for simply requesting a cd, he claimed he deleted my pictures...I gave him my email and said I'd prefer a CD and can pick it up from anywhere. Based on that this psycho jerk then write that.. my port was bad, and smoething about me working on a porn site.¦ now on top of this crazy psycho insulting me, using me for pictures, not giving me my pictures, insulting my portfolio and degrading me he is claiming I am 'harassing' him for trying to get my pictures from him that he has stolen from me and my time along with a lto of grief and frustration¦ stay away From this creep..he is really screwed up it seems or wants to exploit and take advantage of people and not only that but insult degrade them and cause them a lot of frustration and grief and after doing all of this to them he is saying they are harassing him for tyring to get their pictures¦. he is a horrible person, human being.. lunatic, and out to take advantage of people and in fact he seemed like a very nice mild person when you meet him.. u think there is no way he can do this to you even his frined said that.. but the complete opposite is true" he is sick it seems and I would warn models to beware and stay away from this scam photography so-called 'business' the creep has..it's funny because you do a shoot and think.. ok i'll get my pictures.. instead now.. you are dealing with a somewhat deranged sick creep.. who is accusing you of all sorts of nonsense...not giving you pictures, deleting your pictures, insulting your portfolio, putting you down, and now saying you are harassing him...ie the perpetrator trying to turn it around on the victim. They leave you in a complete state of shock because you are trusting them but and expecting something so simple in return-- a cd of pictures yet instead psychos liek this turn it into a sick twisted game of harassment and degradation, lies, abuse, and false accusations, and it can take a huge toll on a person, and they want to really screw you over and cause you some serious grief- people like this are sadistic and sick people...not professionals by any means...this is definitely not any kind of a photography business, it is an immature sick amateur out to exploit and screw models over in some really extreme ways...beware...

 Wrestler Found Guilty on Human Trafficking

 Crackdown on sex slavery

Hundreds of thousands of young, desperate girls are trafficked each year as sex slaves. Some are lured overseas with the promise of a good job, only to be enslaved once they arrive. Others are simply abducted.

There are 27 million people serving as literal slaves around the world. Every year, 600,000 to 800,000 victims are trafficked across international borders, half of them children.
