Well, I see Ur point... Dishonest photographers and recruiters...

But what about the other side?

I'm a photographer from Poland. Probably some of U know my works. I'm trying to find a kind of continuous cooperation with any of the galleries, but as it happened many times so far - they promise to buy a lot of content, but the problem appears with the first payment.

No matter how hard I try - it looks quite the same. Ppl ask for sets, then they are really pleased with my materials. They promise to buy 8 new guys (3 sets each) every month! I replay all e-mails ASAP, sign the documents, shoot the set, upload it... and then when it's time to pay - they become so quiet.

Some records: BP - 3 months, BF - 2 months, BA - never so far... OB - never so far...

I do not expect to be payed in advance. What I'm really looking for is a customer, who is really satisfied with my work and who is a serious business partner. I just need to be sure that I would be payed for my work.

So tell me - what should I do? If a photographer breakes the agreement, U can sue him and find a new one. But if a customer does not replay to e-mails - I can't be sure, if I was cheated, or is it just a misunderstanding. What can I do? Report them here on the board?

Dzinerbear, Xstr8guy - thank U! U are the only two, that have payed me before I finished uploading the pics!
