I had someone comment on my SuicideGirls blog posting yesterday.
“I’m glad Phil Warner is getting sued. I worked with him numerous of times and never ever got one single image from him. He is a so shady and is getting what he deserves. I have many friends who also has worked with him and also never received a thing. He should watch out for more battles. His girl friend needs to get over herself she looks like a blow fish and is extremely disgusting. SSG should sue her ass too. GO SSG!”

This person failed to leave anyway to respond to him/her, (who now will be known as “Private” because that’s what they left in the email address) so I decided to respond on here.
I have not worked with or met Phil Warner so I don’t have first hand knowledge of his character. I have however heard very good things about him in photography forums, from models, other photographers, etc. so I find it hard to believe Private.
Secondly, if Private never got a single image from Phil, why did Private continue to shoot with him. It seems to me if a photographer doesn’t give you images (if it’s TFP and not paid that is) then there is no reason to shoot with them again. period.
Finally to respond to the name calling of his girl friend. This just makes your case even less credible and makes you sound very immature. If Phil really did wrong you there are better ways to go about it than slinging mud at him and anyone else connected with him.
On that note, I am eagerly awaiting the verdict on the SuicideGirls vs. Phil Warner case. I have a feeling karma’s going to catch up with SuicideGirls.

HAH! I laugh at this person. I love when people post things that can’t be backed up and are based solely upon their own personal experience.
I have a thought, maybe the reason you never got a photo back was because you were so absolutely terrible at modeling there were no usable images. Maybe Philip didn’t want to spend 8 hours editing your face and fat for free.
And I agree with Isaac. Why would you shoot with someone more than once who didn’t give you images the first time? Seems unlikely.
Let’s face it, you’re mad because he wouldn’t give you everything for free. This is a common irritation with amateurs everywhere.

Noticed your post when I was tagging my most recent post on here. I totally agree with you that anonymous attacks are lame and should be viewed as not credible. Here is the outcome of that particular little legal scuffle though:
SuicideGirls vs Lithium Picnic Lawsuit Settled http://www.blueblood.net/2008/06/suicidegirls-vs-lithium-picnic-lawsuit-settled/

Yah, I recently read about the settlement between SG and Lithium Picnic. After reading about it I have completely lost all my respect for Lithium Picnic. There is massive amounts of evidence on the internet that shows SG to be a horrible company so I don’t see how he can suddenly fully support SG again other than just making more money. It definitely seems like he’s sold himself out for money. bah

pretty interesting read. unfortunately this all-out rights grab b.s. is all too common these days. to a depressingly large amount of people, respect, dignity, and fairness mean nothing in the face of more money.
