I would like to thank the spineless person who saw my Images on this forum one of which was Project RJ.

Romain Jerome, a watch brand and logo used in the image and is in fact on the homepage as EDITORS PICK.

Well, I am so glad that YOU reported it to the legal department of Romain Jerome.

You see, the thing is.. I had permission from the CEO to do so and RJ have the images too.

So all I can say is thanks for not even having the back bone to contact me to even ask about the origin of the watch which by the way is called a Moon Invader and is made from Apollo 11, Moon Silver and if you care to purchase the one in the image it is £12,500.00, give me a shout and I will point you in the UK distributer.

My days on this forum are countable one hand!

Good luck all!

ChrisY

The person who reported your images is not a member of MadcowModels. They emailed me about it, I saw they were from the watch company and that the person who reported it hadn't bothered to research the RJ name, so I dismissed/deleted their email.

Regards,

James

This is a fantastic pic and to lose a member because of the actions of someone who cannot even be bothered to join is sad. I would ask that you reconsider your actions, it is however always your prerogative but I do think it might be slight over reaction to the attitude of an idiot.

To be fair, as well, it does suggest that by being a member of this site you've managed to present yourself to an audience who maybe hadn't seen your work on the other sites. Granted maybe not an audience you are targetting but something to bear in mind before deciding to go.

I have already commented on this pic, it is stunning and you should remain on MC and continue to let us all see and admire this standard of work!!

Yes, i do apologise in the manner of the original post here. It seems i am unable to edit this at this time..the person may be still lurking so if they are reading, look in.

I DO NOT AIM ANY MALACE AT THE MEMBERS ON THIS SITE.

I will leave the single image up for a few days before uploading fresh content from shoots over the next few days.

I do realise the hard work that James does on this site for the membership and thank him for that.

Thank you for all of your support!

I've had this before on other modelling sites.

I did some contract work for Roxana underwear (among others), got permission to use the images to promote myself, shamelessly. (as we should)

However, a series of BORED, LONELY, JOBS WORTHS decided to report me to roxana several times. Roxana replied to them saying I had permission as I was the tog who shot it, but after 3 months and FORTY THREE e mails, I decided to take it down and not use my paid portfolio on websites like this so as not to annoy my clients.

What really kicked me was the same VAGRANT IGNORAMUS emailed rosana a smug e mail thanking them for FORCING me to remove the pictures. Happily, they replied "dear sir/madame, can we suggest you get a hobby? Preferably not Photography."

Those guys sure do have a sense of humour.

Anyway, my point is, your work is great, but the only way to stop this happening is to not use the images. However chris, the internet is awash with these time wasting do gooders.

Agreed, just the logistics alone to set the shoot up took months as the pieces had to be collected from London.

I have notified every site admin of the situation should the person decide to report the images concerned.

There Just Jealous Chris ... I'm suprised they never reported the Goggle's too ... Beautiful Image
of a Model who I hope to Work with soon,

On the Matter of the Site though ... I also had a Post pulled and was given no Explanation on Why,
Which ain't as bad as Your Experience but still leaves a bitter taste,

Look forward to seeing more of Your Work Sir )

Glad this seems to have been sorted.
James does a good job on this site.
It would be a shame to lose Chris Y as a member.
Aqua entertain has a good point, to not use shots done for commercial work, prestige clients etc, but as they say 'if you've got it,flaunt it' and the image in question is wonderful and this quality is needed. More like this might discourage the self taken camera phone out of focus badly composed shots which occur.

I understand Chris's reaction over this and would feel the same. Both myself and my husband Steve Cheshire were actually at the studio with Chris the day that he shot this project.
