I recently came across a youth photography site that seems to have a very odd business model.
The main site is called teenmodeling.tv though it appears they have also operated many individual sites involving young girls--source archive.org. From what I have read in another forum the company name is TMTV Enterprises.
It appears to me the site owner Rodney Kress , though a skilled photographer, may be crossing the lines and exploiting young girls for profit.
First clue, a description of the models he wants:
"Girls age 8-15, slim, clear skin."
That's all he wants! No boys or older models just very young girls.
Second, he is recruiting other photographers to send in pictures of their young models to sell on his site and share in the profits. hmmmm
Third, some revealing poses and outfits. Though most of the images I saw were fine if you look around a bit you come across some questionable ones. Though these may technically be legal they are not the sort of thing a legitimate photographer would ever take, or worse sell.
Finally, certain sets, like one that appears to have a very young girl posing in her underwear, are only available for purchase by mail. hmmm
Honestly, I was afraid to dig any deeper.
Your thoughts?
