Ryan Myers / Ryan Myers Captures Was located in Athens, GA but relocated to Oakland, CA.  Instagram + Twitter + Flickr Twitter Thread + Screenshots & His Secret Sex Blog (where he had uploaded images unknowing without permission from the models pictured). 

Ryan never expressed his unprofessional behavior towards me, but after numerous models stepped forward with their own stories of his behavior, I must collectively share as a beacon with my internet presence and for accountability within our industry to keep each other safe.

Accusations Towards Ryan Pushing limitations. There are numerous accounts of Ryan asking to shoot nudes with models after they have stated they are not comfortable. He has attempted to coerce models in shooting material with money and other services. 

Blackmail Ryan has attempted to blackmail the models from speaking out against him based on information he knew would defame them as an individual. He has threatened legal action (that never happened), telling friends+family of sensitive information regarding work & recreational use of substances.  Ryan also blames his substance abuse and relationship with alcohol on his behavior + late night inappropriate conversations.  If you wish to view more information, as many do not wish to have their identities exposed, contact me and I can provide more saved information that is not for public consumption. If you have any information that you wish to share regarding Ryans behavior, please message me here on this blog. I will get back to you as soon as possible.

I had to tell a long-term live modeling client that his actions were inappropriate and I no longer wish to work together. I never gave the impression that I was interested in or was seeking any sort of relationship. I worked with him as he was able to hire me.

Negitive Reference: Valentino Sacarmella  Location: NYC / Staten Island We negotiated TF Photoshoot for stay/daily food+expenses. Arrived at the hotel to a room with one bed (I had no key card to get in without him) and a shower with a glass wall so no privacy what-so-ever. The entire weekend turned into a date-vibe, continued attempts to buy me shots which I refused and having to share a bed together.

Negative Reference: Harbor Dallas // Instagram  Location: Dallas, TX Canceling within 7 days resulting in 50% of shoot; owing $100. 

[shitmodelsdealwith]

So yeah if we have the day, time, compensation, and concept that's pretty solidly booked. Telling me you cannot commit to the shoot is canceling not a "miscommunication", I even tried to reach out to confirm on Aug 1st. Just because you may have a hobbyist mentality towards bookings does not mean that I will.
