People love to be heroes. One such person is running around town saying that I've done bad things to girls in my studio during photoshoots, and that I'm a manipulator, that I "push boundaries" and that I photograph underage girls. My first reaction when I found out about this was horror, as I'm someone who values, more than anything, that anyone I work with, or associate with under any circumstance, is treated with respect! Full stop! So imagine how it feels to hear someone claim that I'm the exact opposite of this? Well, if someone chooses to believe what they read, without any facts to back it up, then I wish to never associate with that person, and hope they have a great life. However, if someone wants to have living proof that I'm not the monster this person claims, then simply go to my Instagram profile (JonnySimpleFotoGrafix) and contact ANY of the people that I've posted in there to get background about their experience in my studio. My work is rather edgy, and being in the area of "fe**sh" and "kink", there is an assumption that the person coming for a shoot, knows what they are getting into. I also have long discussions, or meet in person, before anyone comes for a shoot, so it's never an issue. If someone regretted what they did, then I hope they have the sense to simply tell me to remove their photo(s)! It's only happened a few times, so that's not bad, considering I've photographed over 100 people in the last 7 years.
If you're reading this, and you were in my studio for a photoshoot, and there's something you want to say about it that wasn't totally to your liking, please let me know!
Last thing, and for the record... I have never, and will never, work with underage girls, boys, whatever! I will also never work with anyone underage in the future, unless it's under the strict approval, and monitored by, their parents... such as for modelling portfolios, head shots, etc., but never fe**sh or kink, needless to say. I have also never abused a single soul in my studio or elsewhere. Anyone saying this will need legal counsel if I find out, as I treat this QUITE seriously.
