Just because you know the definition of what stock photography means doesnt mean you should ultimately consider it will be used in a dregrading manner against you. Again, stock photographs are a very commen type of shoot in modeling...What is unfortunate, which is what happened in the case with Mike, is he was simply led on to believe it was stock photos with the theme being feet. At times the body may be in the picture, but out of focus, with the detail concentrating on the feet. There should have been no reason to ever believe this type of imagery would then be sold to some perverted website. There are plenty of uses for companies to need images of feet in various positions and also for artists use. This is a cold hard case of being taken advantage of! Images of anyone could be turned around on them and make it look to be something it wasnt...think about it...what if a model was contacted for stock images of hands, and then those images get put up on some site called "barehandguys"....WOW suddenly it looks as if this model was hired by the site to pose for them when in fact its all a bunch of bogus ****. People are ruthless in the modeling industry and dont give a **** about who they hurt or destroy along the way as long as its making them money and getting them ahead in the world. Another thing that is unfortunate are these forums which completely misconstrue things and thats how rumors begin...they aide in helping destroy the persons image, work, and life. If thats what makes people feel like a good person and accomplished each day, then go ahead and do so. But I would hope we could all have an open mind, which I know is impossible, and realize there are two sides to every story...people just tend to believe what they think is corupt because its more interesting...I thought people (especially those into reality tv) would have realized by now most of everything you see is FAKE! Turned around, edited, and misconstrued concepts, conversations, and actions. So why do others tend to believe so much in what they see on the internet on some post? I have no idea...and it leads me to believe these are the ones who need to be educated more, rather than Mike about a photoshoot, before adding their comments and opinons to something they have little to no knowledge about. If you believe everything you see on TV, the news, in magazines and the internet..you're living in a fantasy land. You contribute to problems and create them. You're inadequate knowledge on subjects that do not relate to you can stop progression for others. So I would urge anyone who wants to throw their two cents in, that they ask themselves...do i know facts, what is the source, will my actions possibly destroy the good of others, do I feel good about possibly hurting others, does talking about this issue and realzing the fact your reading this mean you have too much time on your hands which you should be doing something more productive with??? I'm not here to bash anyone for their opinions, maybe just try and help open up eyes a little. And no, I dont ever visit or post on these forums...but heard about this nonesense and it needed to be straigtened out.
