Hello everyone! Let me preface this blog by saying how thankful I am to be on this site and to have been given all the opportunities to meet everyone that I have, and to have shot all the pictures that I have. I noticed a comment in the negative reviews part of Guilty by Design of Soya that said:
I find it really hard to care about anything Cymagen does after hearing about his unprofessional behavior.
Unprofessional? How? Please give specifics. Or at least give me an awesome Perez Hilton style picture with white mouth drippies and a funny catch phrase on my chest. At least that's funny.
I love being an SG staff photographer. I am completely professional in my conduct with models and during any shoot. This is pretty much a no-brainer. I have always respected women(I was raised by 2 of them!) and everyones self-image. I know how important it is to feel beautiful and respected. I have been nothing but cordial and completely professional on all of the shoots I have done. If you have ever shot with me, you know this. And if you dont know this, you probably havent shot with me.
However. Even though we are staff photographers, we all reserve the right to shoot who ever we want. Every photographer picks who they shoot because, unlike being traditionally employed as 'staff', SG can chose whether or not to pay us for our product. If you find that on the rare occasion, that a photographer will not answer your e-mails, you can always shoot a set yourself and submit it, or find a friend or professional photographer to shoot one for you.
Also, though this is rare, a photographer can chose NOT to post a set, even after its been shot (if the model did not pay a sitting fee). It can be that the set isnt good enough, the model caused drama afterwards, or any other number of reasons(one of the reasons ive been sitting on a set is because I had a slow computer, now I have a fast one and am workin on it!!!). But of the 60+ sets Ive shot this has only happened about 5 times. I can understand the frustration this causes but it usually leads to a lot of name-calling on the site that has nothing to do with my professionalism or actual conduct. Its just that: name calling.
Also, I have the disadvantage of being a male photographer on a female oriented site, so I can only guess that doesnt work in my favor and would only work to precipitate any name calling.
I guess I should be flattered that I have haters, eh?
