    A question of morality.

    Hypothetically speaking.......

    Let's pretend that you are a photographer and you have been informed that another photographer has made attempts to recruit and shoot under age models....even going so far as to offer to make fake ID's for the model.

    Now let's pretend that this photographer is in the same town you are in and shoots for some of the same clients that you shoot for...Making him a direct competitor.

    Would you mind your own business or would you mention this to the common clients? On one hand you would be doing the right thing out of concern for your clients but on the other hand....Would you want people to think you were making shit up to get rid of the competition?

    One more "hypothetical" thing.....

    What if this particular photographer also has a history of sexually assaulting models and has changed his name and company names multiple times over the years to hide who he really is?

    Gee...I'm sure glad I don't have to make any kind of decisions like this...But what if?

    What would you do?

        I hypothetically had a conversationa bout this recently...

        that is exaclty what gives this industry a bad name and SHOULD be stopped...

        Bottom line...and you should be more affeared in your own town , it hurts your business at a more intimate level. when theres a big finger over head, you fit there too...

        said fuckhead is hiding his actions by changing identities multiple times..

        i would hypothetically shut that fucker down...

          considering that's illegal, i don't think (or hope for that matter), that you'd have to think that hard

              Hypothetically .. if you know your information is accurate then i would think it would be your responsibility to let your clients know what he's up to. This Photographer is putting everyone at risk with behavior like that.

                  I agree with Mike on this and I would simply let it be known that this has been brought to your attention from multiple models and not just 1 or 2. This guy is obviously scum and to sexually abuse (if this is the case) the models is just wrong and something NEEDS to be done.

                  Hypothetically I wish you luck on this and know that you will do the right thing Aaron.

                  BTW, Mike it was nice hanging out with you in Phoenix, next time we need to do dinner and have something besides sushi lol

                        This is not about the clients, this should be reported to the police, period. If you tell his clients, he might lose some business, but he will get away with a c r i m e

                            Mike is bang on with this one. If it is indeed the case then it has to be done.

                                  I can't prove it. If people went to my clients and told them something that they had no proof of, I would sue the shit out of them.

                                      If he was in my town or for that matter anywhere I would contact the police.

                                      Anything to do with underage crap is the worst...

                                              I would inform the law, then I would call or write all the major news outlets in the area and explain exactly what is happening

                                                  Although we like the exposure, it was not appropriate for this thread. I've been hit up bay 4 people on ICQ so far who are asking me if it's Lupe after you made that post.

                                                      Fuck it, if you can prove / show it, call the Pdx police, Multnomah county sherrifs office, OSP, FBI, etc, etc.

                                                      It will stop him or her from abusing minors and also looks good for our industry when we report these things.

                                                          I think it's safer to go to the authorities, especially if you have no proof. If you defame him with no proof, he could sue you out of the water. It's a fairly serious allegation. I think letting the police know of your suspicions will warrant an investigation and hopefully put the guy behind bars where he belongs.

                                                            Well, you know my stance is always to do the right thing. Putting a stop to a child pornographer/assaulter is definitely the right thing to do.

                                                            However, someone's who's changed names and company identities that frequently in the past won't hesitate for a moment to do it again.

                                                            So that leaves you with three options.
                                                            1. Say something and watch him vanish as he restarts fresh somewhere else under a new name.
                                                            2. Say nothing since he'll likely just do the second half of #1.
                                                            3. Find out what it takes, and do what it takes to make sure that he is put to a permanent stop so that there will be no more resurfacing of any kind.

                                                                        It's people like that guy who give the rest of us a bad name because they only care about money.

There are plenty of models 18 and over, no need to recruit minors. I would inform the common clients. You would be saving them a lot of trouble in the long run. This is not that Mike Smith guy is it?

                                                                                    Let's pretend that you are a photographer and you have been informed that another photographer has made attempts to recruit and shoot under age models....even going so far as to offer to make fake ID's for the model.

                                                                                      Without proof, you have nothing substantial - in any regard.

                                                                                      Without proof, exposing someone of such a thing based on circumstance is hardly just, moral, or sensible.
