So.. I signed up to Model Mayhem around December 26th. I was just looking to get some pictures for my website but I've been bombarded with offers ranging from TFPs to Paid assignments(Yes I check to make sure they're legit, some are some aren't) .. I contacted a photographer by the name of Johnathan Yang because I liked his portfolio and wanted to shoot with him. He agreed and I was like "Ok cool" He told me to text hm any questions I may have.. I sent him a text message saying "I would like full rights to my pictures or shared rights" He sent me a text saying " You can have 100% rights to your images but In return I would like 20% of whatever you make or you can just pay for the shoot and have 100% rights but I will still have rights because I'm the photographer so we woud both have 100% rights." RED FLAGS went up immediately. I'm NO dummy. The pics in his portfolio are GORGEOUS but he sounds VERY sketchy.. Is this normal??
P.s He also said I woud have to be able to do implied nude which is ok with me .. then he asked If I could pose nude.. Ummm NO! Im planning on submitting to penthouse and playboy in feb-march so yes I would like to shoot some nudes/implied nudes but not with this guy. ugh!
