Last Saturday I met with Richard Shaw regarding my daughter's involvement with The Annapolis Talent Agency. I am new to the business and listened as he said we would need headshots, comp cards and a place on the talent agency's website. He said he was the company's photographer and proceeded to show me some of his work. Everything would total $1,946, so I agreed to pay half at that time and would pay the rest on Tuesday during the Test Shoot.
When I pulled up to the office on Tuesday at 2pm for the shoot, the entire area was blocked off with crime scene tape. Apparently, Mr. Shaw had been shot and killed in the office the night before and was found the next morning when a co-worker arrived.
I wonder if I will get my money back as I have, since then, not heard very good things about the agency's business ethics.
