- he has allegedly booked models on commercial jobs then ignored them without paying or supplying images/prints
- he has allegedly organised photography courses in lighting techniques and when the photographers turn up, there is nobody at the address given, and none of the £120 fees are returned
- he has allegedly organised portfolio days for models, who pay for a professional turnover and end up with a handful of untouched images, no book and no prints. then he ignores their calls/emails - changes his number and blocks emails
