Whe I went to visit Mandy Blake in Atlanta last month, I was supposed to meet up with a photographer from a local free mag there. He was going to do a 2 page interview/photoshoot about KaylaCam and KaylaTV and such. I told him he had 2 hours and I could meet with him at 5. He was LATE. He got there at ten to 6 and then spent 35 minutes trying to decide where to shoot me. I did NOT have a good feeling then. I told him I needed to see his paperwork, as far as the release went, he assured me we would go over it after we shot as we were losing sunlight and he wanted pics of me out and about Atlanta. Like a dumbass, I agreed. He tried to keep me past the time I had given him, wanted me to get naked in public when there were kids riding by on bicycles, all sorts of stupid crap like that, so I called the shoot and went back to Mandy's. Since I had spoken with him online for years, I told him he could email me the interview questions and I would send them back. I asked him for his release, he had forgotten it.
By this time, I was pissed and running late for shooting with Mandy, so I told him we would talk about it later. After I got home, I told him that I was unsure I even wanted to be in his mag. I had gotten a chance to look at it and it was basically a magazine advertising strip clubs and escorts. I told him that I did not really fit in to that as I am not an escort and I have never danced. He said to let him send me the interview questions and release before I decided that. I never heard back again.
APPARENTLY, my images are in that magazine, along side escort ads, with NO WRITE up at all, just "Kayla of KaylaCam.com" on them! Two pics of me next to a ton of hookers! ARGH!
By inference, since there is no back-story or interview with my images, it implies that *I* escort!
What do I do now?! Mandy and Ant are sending me a copy of the magazine. I am FURIOUS! Do I even have a case that I can sue over? I mean, I never signed a release. EVER! I am PISSED that my images are next to hooker ads without the interview part I was promised. I told him I was not sure I wanted to be in that crap rag!
Where do I go from here? Is it better to contact the mag or find a lawyer who will take this on contigency?

I don't think you can win a suit because you really were not damaged by it-plus your site addy did get printed which may attract more members to you-and I doubt the mag is going to profit by using your pic-I sympathize with you but legally I don't see a case
