At camp bisco i was delighted to have a photographer snag me and ask if he could take some pictures of me hooping with my LED! For about 30 mins i let him shoot me and try to get the shot he was looking for. Then i was given a business card and told they would be up in about a week! Awesome! Was also given flyers to give out and promote his photography and a shoot he wanted me to attend that same weekend at the venue! Was open to attending. Once i got to my hotel i read the flyer. Okay it was for nude photography, thats fine, not something I would do or be interested in but no judgement there. I later received messages from Nicholas trying to see if i would be attending the shoot. I informed him that i was grateful for the opportunity but not interested. I then recieved many messages and videos trying to sway my opinion. Okay. I appreciate his enthusiasm but still no. We agreed and moved on. Then i recieved information about the photos and that i would have to pay to download them. Wasnt informed of this before the pics were taken, but okay i understand supporting an artist. Went to buy all the pictures and it was over 300$. Still, i completely understand a photographer making his money, but again, i wasnt informed id have to pay for these, i never did at any other festival(ive been going to festivals since 2013). I expressed my thoughts to Nicholas and he made a discount code for me, which i really appreciated! But still couldnt pay for photos at the time seeing i just got back from the festival. Then proceeded to get more messages about nude photography and trying to sway my opinion. I told him i was not going to be interested but thank you. Since then i have seen many hostile posts that are really pressuring and guilting people to spend their money, judging anyone that didnt support him. As a business owner, i know that is not a way to attract customers. But i ignored it. I have recieved a few messages (harassing me at this point) to spend money and buy photos. Which i planned on doing but still, i dont have money right now, i have other obligations in life. then all the screenshots rolled in of him talking shit with other customers about people that didnt buy anything yet. I was then also informed that he wasnt the only one that felt this way and that he discussed it all with his team members and they agreed. Okay cool, glad to know a whole business is talking shit about me because i didnt have money i didnt know i needed to spend. He is now also harassing my boyfriend! Great!
I am shocked with how HORRRIBLE my experience has been after he got the shots he wanted of me. I would NOT recommend this business to anyone at this point. And would not wish my experience on anyone. read more
