Now that Shap has "officially" retired and out of the biz, I can reveal what kind of man that he ?really? is.....
People in our industry have this impression that Shap is a good man, with a good heart. For some reason....they think that he's fair, he's honest and that he's ethical. Well, here?s the truth......
I've been working with Shap since 2005. In 2006, he signed me to a 1-year "exclusive" contract to shoot only for Twistys. The goal: to produce high-end, high-quality content and to set a standard of quality for the Twistys name and brand. I had never been under contract before and Twistys had never had a contracted producer before so it was a bit of a bumpy ride at times for both of us, but in the end - we rocked it the fuck out. In fact, some of the best content that I've ever shot in my whole life is on the Twistys site
Over the years, through the love & support of Shap and the Twistys family, I've been able to hone my skills as a shooter/producer to levels that I never could have dreamed of. I've had so many great opportunities to work with such fabulous models - all thanks to Shap. It?s been a fabulous ride Shap!!!!
I can tell you, without reservation, that Shap is one of the best in the biz. Not only a smart guy, but also an honest and ethical guy. From day one he has always been more than generous, more than fair and more than just a "client". We didn't always see eye-to-eye on matters, and still don?t today - but we never lost the drive to make Twistys an amazing destination for those looking for that type of content.
I'm happy for Shap & Beth but sad to see Twistys change hands. Twistys has been such a big part of my life since 2006 - it's almost like losing a best friend
So Thanks Shap - for allowing me to be such a big part of the Twistys family for all these years. For giving me a chance to grow and shine...when nobody else would. For the nice budgets, the support & encouragement and for the friendship. Good luck in your retirement and please look me up when you make it to LA again!!!!
