ok, this is written AFTER khavi called me, I felt a little like GWB last night:

so the photographer just called me and we talked for a minute. the convo was very pleasant and she thanked me for taking the picture down.
being a photographer myself, same with carina, jonah, and others on this board, all of us can understand the frustration of photographs that we took being "used" other places. For us on RTTP, that means more finding our images in magazines with out our permission more.

With all that said, I gave some advice on some things which she seemed to "know"
In this case, it seems like the sole motivation seems to be that the model had her feelings hurt by what people said here. Personally, I could care less how the model feels. when you take pictures in a studio setting, the model needs to sign model releases and all that. They obviously need to work on something with the "asshole" effect generated from what is posted on the internet. If these girls can't take the fact that people on the internet are going to bitch, complain, critique, obsess, fantasize and many other things to/about a picture, then they shouldn't be doing them. Also, people that ACTUALLY KNOW the models are going to see them. the models need to be very much aware of that fact. hell, I would suggest printing this forum out and making models read this as part of the releases they sign.

I guess in closing, the photo studio in question needs to learn a bit more about "good business". RTTP gets 100's of thousands of unique ips a month and this just gave you negative publicity about your to-be-launched site. A bit more “damage control” could have handled this with some more finesse. Hopefully, you will figure it out (and be bought by playboy) or not and sink. This site is and the photography on it is a hobby for me.

I guess that’s it.. oh besides, I will not pose for your site.
Not that you asked.
But in the future the answer is no.
