Also, with the new 2257 law changes, if you do work where the 2257 laws effect the model and photographer involved because of the types of photos/videos they did, if the model does not provide all the actual information required(one requirement being an actual home address), both the model AND photographer can be charged with felonies.

No mail is delivered unless it has that name on it. If you're trying to make sure something reaches a person (and their real name) a USPS PO Box is the best address to use.

But when a photographer does take the time to personally deliver the goods, the photographer is considered a stalker? Hmm....something doesn't add up. I am sure there is more to this story than meets the eye...especially since it is very one-sided at this point. Feb 16 06 06:24 pm Link wow...scary stuff...yup better file that order Feb 16 06 06:26 pm Link here in the Great State of Texas...we can carry guns legally...that deters most stalkers. Feb 16 06 07:02 pm Link I have several thoughts about this post. First, why did you post it in the first place? It should have been pretty obvious that, even if he is what you say he is, putting the issue up on a public forum would only serve to escalate the situation. Also, how are we to know that any of what you say about him is true? Frankly, there is something about your OP and subsequent replies that makes me wonder. I have also read your profile - it is pretty much a list of your demands and information about yourself that seems a bit overboard. I have to say that I doubt I would have booked a shoot with you on the basis of your profile alone. It speaks of a person who is completely absorbed with her own life and her own needs. Maybe I am wrong but you might do well to at least consider that many people will reach the same conclusion that I did. I would not report him by name on the site given here, or anywhere else, unless you can post something that is 100% factual and supportable. Remember also that just because you believe something to be factual does not mean that it will be deemed to have been proven factual in a court of law. Add to this, that lawsuits for things like defamation occur in civil court, not in criminal court. This is an extremely important distinction because he doesn't have to "prove" that you are wrong - he just has to get a jury to believe that you are wrong. If he does, this will become a very expensive rant for you. If he is all that you say he is, my advice would be to focus on reporting him to the police, asking your friends to watch out for you and, most importantly, moving. Restraining orders really aren't worth the paper that they are printed on. If these nuts want to kill someone, a TRO isn't going to stop them. Move. It's that simple. Get away from him and be sure that he will never find you again. Don't shop in the same places, don't go to the same restaurants and change alot of your personal habits. Just make it as close to impossible as you can for him to find you in another way. What ever the reality of this situation, I wish you well and strongly believe that you should be able to live your life without harrassment from any source, photographers or otherwise. Feb 16 06 07:10 pm Link I was in a similar situation to this not too long ago. I had shot a few times with a self proclaimed "professional fashion photographer" (who I later found out made his living through shooting porn stars). After he made it abundantly clear that he was sexually attracted to me (and I made it abundantly clear that I was in a committed relationship and not looking for anything else), I decided that I no longer wanted to shoot with him. I did my best to blow off the situation. However, after recieving sexually provocative emails and phone calls non stop, I told my significant other about it. Naturally, my partner got upset, and called the photographer up. No harsh words or threats were made towards the photographer, but he took it upon himself to record the coversation, and forward it to his lawyer. Naturally nothing resulted from this, but it is frustrating beyond belief. These are the kind of psychopaths you here about on daytime TV, as a warning to girls to stay away from the modeling industry. And I didn't get any pictures out of the deal either! My advice: Get a restraining order now! Feb 16 06 07:20 pm Link He's just another PWC, psycho with a camera ...

THE SAME THING HAPPENED TO ME! sorta. a Photographer came to my house to do a photo shoot. he was lucky to catch me on one of the two days i have off every week. he was also lucky enough to catch me when i wanted to go to ikea...

Please remember that we are not lawyers - we're models, photographers, stylists and others. Feb 16 06 10:30 pm Link I am floored that you models are giving out your address!!!! WHAT ARE YOU ALL THINKING????!!! STOP!!!! Agency models NEVER NEVER give out their addresses, it is not required on model releases. If you have some kind of release that requires an address give your parents or boyfriend or grandmother or whatever....NOT YOUR OWN!!! If you have to show a license for some reason block out the address. I'm not working in the nudity industry so I'm not up on the laws here but if you are required to make your home address known find another way to make money. The world is full of creeps and this industry attracts more then it's fair share...making it hard on the legit photographers and thats a shame but safetly should come first and home address, home numbers, where you work....all of that should be kept private. I am sitting here in stunned disbelief that models are letting this info out. Feb 16 06 10:44 pm Link McKenzie Bros Photo wrote: I can't agree stong enough! Feb 16 06 10:52 pm Link Mary wrote: If it is a nude shoot i hope most photographers require an ID. Best way to protect yourself is to take a photograph of the model holding her ID. Especially if she looks young. Iâve lost several nude shoots due to this. Things go alone fine until I tell them they need to bring an ID. Then no word from them again. My guess is they are underage. Feb 16 06 11:05 pm Link Don't even waste your time with a restraining order. They serve no purpose in protecting you. Unless the police actually CATCH the person in the act of violating the order they do NOTHING. And 9 out of 10 times when they do cops simply tell the person to go away. Don't you have a boyfriend, big brother etc that could well have a little man to man chat with this individual. THAT is about the ONLY language some of these people will ever understand. Next step is to out this individual. So long as what you have to say is the TRUTH. The WHOLE truth and nothing BUT. Feb 16 06 11:11 pm Link JM Dean wrote: well if its a requirement to show your address and you can not cover it up....I would just not do this type of shoot. It's honestly not worth the money. Feb 16 06 11:14 pm Link Well, I definitely wish you luck in this situation...he sounds like a jerk to me! Sorry you have to go through that.

Unfortunately you have that 1% of new underage models that try to sneak in nudes (their idea).

Good one Louis! :-D Feb 17 06 02:25 am Link you should definitely get a restraining order. since he has violated your warnings they'll probably give you one against him. especially since he's been on your property. of course the police could be total douches and treat you how they treated me when an xbf of mine actually trespassed on my property not once but twice! and the 2nd time breaking into my home. make it apparent to them that this man is a threat to you. for me they didn't treat it the way i had asked until he had broken into my home while i was still there. now that is some crazy and scary stuff. i definitely felt my life was in serious danger. so be careful and do what you need to feel safe and secure. make them listen.
