Sucks man, mind telling the whole story? Im interested.

Reminds me of a thread about Grenade using a guys picture.

i wouldn't mind hearing it too if you have the time.

i'll tell it when it gets sorted out. i made a thread about it earlier in the year, but the story has evolved quite a bit since then and a lot more has happened.

fuck man i know how you feel and i stumbled across that article last week, so true.

anyways back in the fall i did a shoot for range rover for the evoque, and was under the impression they were going to pay me. but to clarify it i told them that if the photos were being used for any promotional stuff that i expect to be paid, long story short i was told that they could "only use stock photos." kinda chapped but whatever i'm not doing any more shoots without first being paid or receiving some sort of compensation.

a couple pics if anyones interested, not trying to thread jack either i just know how you feel.
