Be careful of Drew Santos Photography! He works out of Laguna Beach, CA (Orange County). He shoots with Karl Yamashita and does tons of group workshop shoots. Karl Yamashita is his partner, http://karlyamashita.com/
Drew is a pervert! As you can see from his website all he does is shoot super sleazy super raunchy photos. Asking the models to pose like adult stars! Asks them to pose like strippers! He makes it seem all legit and real but all he's trying to do is make you believe you can be a famous star by working with him.
He tries to offer sex in exchange of a free photo shoot... Some models fall for it and then realize they've been scammed! Please be careful! The next part of the scam with Drew Santos and Karl Yamashita is that they sell your images (without your knowledge) to Adult Sites! Some models have seen their pics up on adult escort sites (prostitute sites / call girl sites).
They make money from selling your images (without your consent). They are involved with the Asian adult sites and assume nobody here in Southern California will find out.
Please be careful when working with Drew Santos and Karl Yamashita! If you are an aspiring model you should never be asked to have sex with your photographer. You should never be promised fame by working with someone. All of this comes with years of practice and experience, Nothing happens overnight.
And please be careful of the release forms you sign. Some of these photographers look legit on the outside but all the care about is to exploit young aspiring models and make a quick dollar. Drew Santos and Karl Yamashita! The truth is out!
