Notion Photography Ripoff
As reported on Myspace and Elsewhere...
THIS IS A LETTER SENT OUT...Warning! Notion Photogaphy is fake! Hey Friends!My name is Shirley Lam and I just wanted to warn you guys about a sales guy who's claming to be a photographer, named Damir from NotionPhotography. I contacted him under the impression that he was working with Michael Vincent Photography and booked a shoot with him. I had no previous experience with photo shoots or the modeling industry in general. When I first spoke with Damir, he reassured me that there will be 3 different "looks"; different hair, different make up, and different outfits. What happened in reality, I picked out my own outfits, I retouched up my own makeup, and I had to readjust my boring hair each time. I brought a girl friend with me for moral support, which is understandable, until he puts her in the photos that I paid for and shot her.All in all, Damir is a bad investment. With the amount of money that I paid to take those pictures, I could have gotten those same pictures done at the mall, and bought an entire new wardrobe, with shoes. What's messed up about all this was, he never told me that he was fired from Michael Vincent Photography, and he still led me on to believe that he was still working with them and that the quality of my pictures will turn out like the ones on the site. After realizing that the pictures were shit and I was cheated of my hard earned money, I made a couple phone calls and discovered something you should pay close attention to: I actually spoke with the real Michael Vincent and that was when I found out Damir was fired from the company. On top of that, it is confirmed that he only recently started his "photography" career. In reality, he's only had his camera for no more than 2 weeks, thus producing the horrible pictures. When I started to look closely at the sample pictures that he has posted up on the site, I realized that those photos were not taken by him. Pictures that he took from magizines and other photographers. How in the world, can you take self portraits of yourself like that?! And, just comparing the photos, I can tell that they were done by someone else. Even if I was unattractive, that should not affect the style and quality of the photo. .....Delete him from your profile and warn your friends about him... He's a fake and he was able to trick me, but he is not going to be able to do this again. I hope that this will allow you guys to avoid any possible disasters with him in the future. ~Shirley
