My observation on Edwin is that most of the complaints came mostly from the female models and not the photographers. And the problem is not so much as Edwin is a serial liar, but more so that he is a stingy paymaster.
If one looks thru, his shoots are relatively "low costs" and tend to offer more "value" in terms of giving photographers more "hormone-laced" props (at the expense of the models). If he is more generous with his payouts to the models he could easily get away from all these.
My conclusion is that it takes two hands to clap. :think:
Have personally talked to artemis a.k.a edwin many times at various locations and events...
To be honest (as bad a person he may/could be, because i don't know that much about him), he expressed interest and was looking to alternatives to improve the condition of his photoshoots.
He may just be another middle-aged man looking for more cash in troubled times, and could have had his mistakes.
Lets just leave it to the mods.
