| Top Glamour Photography Valerie Baker Vonditsianos Broke our agreement, chose not to allow me to even see the photos she took, extremely unprofessiona |
| 24th of Jan, 2011 by User711380 |
I was included in a photo shoot that was based on an agreement between Valerie Vondisianos and my personal trainer. Valerie advised me that according to that agreement, my trainer would receive 4 photos of me and she would sell me a CD of the rest of the photos.
Between the photo shoot and the day I was scheduled to receive my photos, there was a disagreement between them. At that point, Valerie refused to allow me to purchase the CD. She advised me that she would continue with the agreement and that the trainer would receive those 4 photos but only after she spoke with the trainer. When I followed up, Valerie advised that she would not be releasing any photos of me whatsoever.
I was astounded by each communication from Valerie. She was extremely unprofessional, telling me details of her agreement and argument with the trainer, it was very uncomfortable and completely frustrating that she would complain about a broken agreement to me when she was doing the same to me. Although I believe it was unfair that she would punish me because of an issue that did not involve me, she has the right to choose not to sell me the photos. But by far, the greatest issue I have with her is her lack of professional behaviour. I was appalled at the way she communicated with me.
There are lots of better photographers who know how to treat a customer professionally. I recommendfinding one of them.

Well i feel i have a right to defend myself.
I was advised by my lawyer not to release any photo's. After extensive research it was not only proven but admitted to me that this "TRADE FOR" agreement was altered.
The agreement between me and the trainer had been compromised. There for making the agreement invalid.
I sent not one but two emails explaining the situation and apologized that i could not release the unpaid photo's... I also sent a CD full of images to the trainer ( many of the images were of you) and i told you that also, ..so im sure you received those FREE of charge.
This was a situation where i was double crossed... and there for I was told to with hold the remainder of photo's at hand.
I took advice given to me by my lawyer... and i was right to do so.
If i am doing a shoot on a TF ( trade for ) basis and the contract is altered then i have the right to with hold images on my end. as this is not a fair trade. and that is what happened in this case. We had an agreement... i did my part...i then got double crossed.
I have never ever with held any photo's from a shoot where the person has paid. ... and if the situation ever arose where the client's were unhappy with the photo's i would be happy to give back a full refund . |
