This is the guy taking pictures of you:
www.randysheehan.com
A self-proclaimed "elite" custom auto designer and fabricator. So you know he must be top notch photographer. lol.

Should have chosen your "photographer" better. Judging by his "talents" and "experience" links on his website, he can't hold a job very long. Jack of all trades, master of none.

I was going to suggest you bring along a friend or something, and make damn sure you get all the images if you are paying for it and sign contracts stating he can't use them. But after looking at his site, I would not even go near this guy.

We were in touch a couple days ago and he fed me a story about working with girls in the industry and a HUGE discount on the first set of photos (because he's so good that most people become regular clientelle). He told me he had a time open tonight, so I took it and asked to see his portfolio (I know, portfolio first...). He then told me that his website had crashed...kinda odd, but ok...so I started searching for some info on him and NOTHING came up at all for either his contact or company name. Sounded a little fishy so I thought I'd see what you guys knew.

Thanks for keeping me outta trouble!

PS. because I'm not going to that appointment, I have some time for one luckey guy who wants to see me at 5 or 6!

Thanks!

If you are not comfortable....

Contact him and let him know you are not coming and why, I have seen his work before and it's really good in my opinion. But if you are not comfortable, don't go. If you are apprehensive or freaked out it will show in your pictures. I know of pretty much every photographer in the city, and as far as professionalism goes I would vouch for The Click Stop. It's not some guy running out of his house or with no studio what so ever, like most the "photographers" on the internet. I know a few models that have worked with him, and I am pretty much 100% positive he won't molest you (I really don't think you are his TYPE, the models that worked with him are pretty sure he likes boys).

Also TT300Z you are kind of a douche, trashing someone you have never met, never seen their work, is not a member of this board, and you know nothing about other than something you read on a website that might not even be the same guy with all you know. I think we have another DOR in training here, shouldn't be too long before you work yourself out of the system.

heavens sake ... it's a photoshoot, we have sex with strangers:D for a living, why are you getting your panties in a knot over a simple shoot. :( !!

I've contacted him as well and find him a breath of fresh air, not so up tight, kinda funny and open to suggestions. He seems comfortable with the industry which I believe is a good thing.

Besides - its' just photos, if you dont like them dont use them it's that simple. For me, he will be my 6th and counting ... I like to see how others see me threw their lens.

I've got my appointment on the 6th and will be keeping it.:)

Actually I e-mailed him.

Just as a heads up I e-mailed Randy to tell him about this thread and he really does not mind people trashing him on here because this is not an industry he focuses on exclusively (he actually respects Webguy enough that he never will focus on this area due to the fact that Corey DOES, and does a great job at that in my opinion). He also does not have any interest in joining this board as a friend who has an account showed him the site, and there is too many "children" and too much "drama" for his tastes. As for his "Personal website" I checked it out and it says right on the front page that the page "by no means reflects his design ability" and only was thrown together in 15 minutes (as a class project I might add, he let me in on that little tid bit in his e-mail). I guess some people are just to dense to actually READ anything. Also he did mention that the site was done in a flash module class a few years ago and is not how he would design an actual site (his exact words were "the site was WAY to flash heavy"). So if some of you clowns find it necessary to trash someone who is not even on this board, and does not really care what the detractors have to say about him go hard. In an actual quote from his e-mail "My work speaks for it's self, and once my portfolio is back up, people can love me or hate me for my work, and the service I provide people. Not the location or size of my studio, and not what some hater on a website that has nothing to do with me has to say" Some of you are probably going to say he is a coward for not coming here and defending himself personally, but I think the guy has too much class to come down to some of your levels. A friend introduced him to this site and while he has worked with some great people, it's really not worth his time or effort to spend any time here. I guess everyone will see what happens when Annalise gets her shoot done, I'm sure that she will have some input then. But I have not met ONE person that has met Randy that has a single bad thing to say about him, which is kinda sad that every person that has NOT met him has to add their two cents. Also how would some of you clowns that hide behind a screen name like it if all YOUR personal information was displayed for everyone to see? I think that was an ignorant move posting someone's personal information on this board by TT300Z, but that's just me. How many of you on here would like to have all your personal information available to everyone on these boards?

My aprehension isn't that I'm shy about having photo's taken, it was a concern when I found out that his 'studio' in in an auto shop and that I couldn't find any information about his business anywhere on the net. When he contacted me he claimed to be a reputable business...and someone with 15 years in the computer industry would know enough to back up his data. The women who work in this industry take a risk everytime we meet someone new, and I suppose the men do too - just look at the thread about that CL girl. I was inquiring to keep myself safe, and Annalise, I'd love to hear how your session goes and see some of the pics so I have some idea of what I would be paying for beforehand.

On a side note, anyone who works with or knows of a good photographer (with a portfolio and a studio) let me know.

Why would a web designer represent himself with a crappy web site?
Thats like saying "oh sure my house fell apart, but thats just the house I made for myself to live in, the one i build you will be AWSOME"
His site says 2005, so in 2 years he hasent been able to make anything better?
The guy is bringing shit down on himself with such poor work ethic.

Everyone needs to relax - take a big breath in and release slowly.

Photographers are a dime a dozen.... for example I over paid for my last shoot, while it was ok, I wont use him again because he over exposed me to hide my flaws, wtf is that ? I like my flaws, ( well kinda do ) and dont need anyone taking out color when correction of over exposed pictures is hard to work with in photoshop ( no I dont over photoshop I just touch up melting make up and lipstick, give myself a finished makeup look)

I actually pay for all rights to the pictures and retain all copy write, that keeps the control in my hands and not the photographer. Most photographers want you as the model to sign a release form so they can use your pictures in their profolio. And when dealing with photographers from past business ownership I can tell you most photographers are touchy about their rights and about their work.

Randy is light, easy to deal with and has an understanding of humans beyond what I would expect from an ego driven industry like Photography. Artists are a funny bunch, similar to Hookers in that we believe we are the best. What ever that means, all I know is so far out of the 6 photographers I have used only one has captured me with the lighting I like, but he wont shoot me again... OH well I'm weird and dont claim to be anything but who I am. I guess it's back to the whole ego thing, and I just dont play that game, I'm to old and to square to.

On modelsmayham ( or what ever that site is ) there are ooddles of photographers wanting to break into the industry, some are worth their weight in gold while others are not. It is seriously like us girls, the boys have to hunt for what works for them and I guess so do we. You might spend money you feel it's worth it or you might get lucky and find a gem, either way it's a fucking photoshoot - YOUR not buying a house you are stuck with !!

Having a studio doesn't make a photographer, FYI here is a good example.

www.santillophotography.com ** he doesn't have a studio **

He's on my list once all this weight is gone .. seriously some fantatic shots of some amazing woman, and his rates are Higher then Bryan Ward, but so worth it.

Webdesigners dont always have a site because they are always working on other peoples. For example, I can't run my site anymore, I suck at it and having to update all the time it's just to hard on my head. So I have been working with photography100, and until the big blow out where on another board she called a gal a cunt I was happy... WELL not anymore .... anyway to the point I'm trying to make. I called up Escorts-Canada for a referral to a webdesigner who wont mess with me or my site, who has been in the indrustry for a long time etc... They gave me the name of a man who has been in business for over 15 years, and has more porn sites then escorts, but he doesn't have a site, which is my point. What he sent me with his work was by far some of the sexiest sites I've seen. HE doesn't HAVE his own Adult promotion site, just a corporate one, which I will NOT post here.

So lets all relax - and go get laid !!

Strange....

People just DON'T seem to get it, my god this "personal" website you keep talking about was a flash project when he was IN SCHOOL. Therefore he has not looked at it SINCE school more than likely. I do know some other sites he does, but that is his business and not anyone on here's. As for being weirded out by a photo studio BEHIND and auto shop, a couple girls I know found having the cars available to them a HUGE plus, a lot of MODELS like to have their picture taken with the Japanese sports cars that are in the shop part in front of the studio. I know of one particular photo Randy did of a girl in tight jeans and a bra laying on the hood of a red RX-7 that was AWESOME, I honestly thought it belonged on the cover of a import tuner style magazine. So if ANYTHING having access to hot sports cars in your shoot is nothing but a PLUS in most people's eyes. And I already KNOW what you would be paying with Randy. NOTHING! Not a CENT. Because that is what he agreed to do for you, just like everyone else right now (even though he did not offer it I did by accident, I misunderstood that it was free for portfolio building shots ONLY, but he STILL honored the services to people on the board once he set me straight), and how do you repay his kindness, by bringing down a shit storm on this board because his studio is behind a "car shop" which is properly licensed with both the city of Edmonton and the Alberta Federal Government...OOOOOOHH that is some pretty risky stuff. You actually had ME doubting Randy so I did some digging myself, and the guy has NOTHING to hide, he even gave me sites to check to dig up MORE dirt on him if I liked. Which I did and the guys is on the up and up. It just makes me ill when people go on a witch hunt just for kicks, when the person they are persecuting is someone that really does not deserve it (and was just trying to do someone a favor).

Dreamer, calm down a bit. I am not on a witch hunt or posting anything untrue, I posted looking for some info and made a decission based on that info. In my opinion, this thread should be over.

You seem to be missing it.

You seem to be missing the fact that someone tried to be nice to you, and help you out with a FREE photo shoot, and you pretty much started a thread that spits in their face to thank them. And the only reasoning I have seen you put is it's because his studio is in the same building behind a car shop. You might not realize this honey, but Con Boland works out of his HOME. A good photographer can take what they are given and make beautiful images, if it's in a back alley, or in their home, or in a park somewhere, WHO CARES? As long as the images they produce are DECENT...and for FREE I think you were going to get something better than what you have. I agree this thread should be closed, but in all actuality it should not be here at all in the first place. If I were you I would apologize to Randy for this whole stupid dramatic thread on here.

Thanks Ashlee.

I did not know he was on Mayhem, I like the couple images that are on there, I had not seen those before (I'm guessing they are new..LOL). I would love a print of the one bridge blur 1, the color and comp are quite nice. With a black frame I think that would be a nice piece.

Well since we are discussing where photographers do their work. Examples ONLY I'm not advertising for me - lol I'm a jet setter now anyway.

My first shoot - Webguy has his studio above a recording booth, and it's behind a bar, that you have to go down a long walk way on the side of the building to get to. Is that a problem ?? NOPE


The second photographer I used I drove an hour and a bit to get to him, he did mine for free ( with model release ) and he uses the back end of a store front in a tiny town.

The third one had a studio with 5 - 8 other photographers renting time at the location. Only two do nudes, the owner and one other gent. that I got. Nice place and all but a bit stuffy for my taste.


The fourth, Collin who does work for a magazine and as far as I'm concerned one of the best around these parts, and he doesn't have a studio at all. He's a funny duck thou, and only one funny duck allowed, and that me. - lol


My last photographer uses the basement of his house, with normal basement ceiling height, really short people it works for. Problem NOPE



Randy will be 6th ... lol !!!!





Maybe Star you should stick McMasters.
