    Default Another rant..sorry guys..

    Ugh okay so after spending $200 to get my posters printed... the graphics are FUCKED! I look jaundice in the pics... I have no chin.. you can see where I was wearing stockings earlier... one leg is darker then the other, I have a weird dark spot on my crotch... my hair is some funky red where its on the red blanket... you can see where he cut me out to put me in the image.. its just HORRIBLE! The printing company said they tried to fix it but it was one flat image so when you try to fix one part it effects the other. The best part of this is... the guy who did the work just called and left a msg on my phone saying its not him, its the printers... he refuses to take blame!! He said he bets me any money he can take it to his printer and it will look perfect Of course it will he'll tell them to fix it!!! Im out $200 now and have a stack of worthless posters that I cant send to clubs... im NOT happy! Best of it is I dont have the high res images so I cant get them fixed....

    This guy gets better... he goes telling my friend who wants to start doing showgirl work that she shouldnt listen to me because im nothing but a low life rookie... he'll take her places and teach her to dance and to ditch me because i'll never amount to anything... Umm.. I've never claimed to be anything but a rookie feature... but I also know a fair amount for where I am.. I work with Alena Downs(doesnt mean im better then anyone) and 9 times out of 10 I wont answer a question, i'll ask Alena and relay the msg... Also im not the one teaching her.. Alena is the one whos going to be teaching her... wtf.. hes also saying hes going to teach girls and take them to the US and make them big name features.. yea right...

    Ugh dont mind me im just pissy at this whole situation... I told my agent all about it since hes the one who told me to shoot with this guy... hes not happy with it either..

    This all went down fri night and sat... took me till now to calm down enough to even think about posting it... he just left me the msg about an hour ago saying he refuses to take blame and it was my printers... i've used this printing company for about 1500 posters now and around 1000 magnets... why would they fuck up now?

    Can you talk to a manager to state what you just said? Logically I don't see how they could deny it.

    Oh, well that makes it different I suppose. Did you pay with credit card? If you did you can always refuse the charges with your bank saying you didn't get what you want, which is true, and you refuse to pay the money for crap and drop the pictures off at his place.

    You could threaten to spread the word about his sub par work and how he won't take responsibility for his work. Freelance photogs operate on word of mouth hugely, and it travels fast!

    Also threaten to dispute the charges, like suggested above.

    Well I figure im gonna start now.. the guy took 10 hours, yes TEN HOURS to shoot me.. think we did like 500 pics.. 4 are useable... now dont get me wrong we also did a shoot for the magazine but that only took like 2 hours... and hardly any of those pics are useable apparently... he claims to be BETTER then brain ward the best photographer around(well one of the best). Umm no..

    My friend was going to shoot with him but shes creeped out with him and refuses to pose for the magazine now lol... ugh this is just a damn mess..

    I mean the guy had great intentions... and he did tell me he was new to graphics but fuck at least realise its your mistake, dont blame the printers. Worse of it is now I look at the pic on my pc and I can see where all the mistakes are... I wish I saw these before I paid to print them

    Maybe I was just a bad model? Im new to this whole 'getting naked in front of a camera' shit...

    What a POS! I'm sorry this is happening to you. Lord only knows I've had my share of asswipe photographers! At least it wasn't any more than $200, sheesh!

    Too bad you weren't able to see a sample from the printer so you could've refused it then. Sorry about your luck. On the bright side, it's those hard lessons we learn that keep us sharp for the future. Best of luck to you.

    Post his name, I'll spread it all around

    Get somethign in writing from the printers saying it's the graphic design, not the printing. Threaten him with it.

    2 things

    1 Did the printers offer you proofs? Some things you need to see before doing a full print run.

    2 Most stuffed up printings of photos occur because the color profile chosen is incorrect. Can you print them out normally on a home printer? If you can't he has used a special color profile, the printers need to be aware of the profile and use it to print out the photos. There are some photographic techniques that use 'less color' or 'normal' color. I have a whole set of wedding photo negatives like this, most western print houses can't even make prints of them that look good.

    Cherry look at my signature picture... its the same one... you can see all the faults there... im so stupid for not seeing them before I printed them.. my left leg is darker.. there is a weird splotch on my crotch.. you can see where I was wearing stockings, you can see my yellowish skin and where I was cut out to be put in the pic. The printers tried to fix the colouring before they printed it but they couldnt because he didnt layer everything, he made it a flat image so when you try to fix one part it alters the rest of the image.

    Aww hon that sucks....IMO you still look gorgeous though! But I know how it feels to look at a pic and hate what you see. Lesson here...never EVER EVER pay in cash...and never pay in full til you see the finished product.
