Martin has covered up his irresponsible business practices with false claims. The copy of email he posted on this site on 1/30/08 was NOT an email reply from the multiple inquiries on the photos. The photographer sent this one email on the very same day of the photo shoot in September just to show me one measly sample on an email attachment. This was NOT the written agreement we had in place. The photographer is now attempting to cover up the facts with lies. The written agreement was TFCD (Time for CD) and documented in his own words.
MARTIN TORRE'S FALSE CLAIM - He posted an email this on site on 1/30/08 claiming that he replied to me by email requests and that he provided me the images from the photo shoot.
THE FACT - He emailed me a few hours after the photo shoot that same day and attached only one measly sample image. I never received the full photo images, as stated on a written email agreement made earlier in which Martin Torre stated that he would provide me a CD of the photo images.
MARTIN TORRE'S FALSE CLAIM This was a project just for the purposes of teaching a junior photographer on lighting.
THE FACT A written email agreement from Martin Torre states that I will receive the photo images on a CD. It was only a few weeks before the photo shoot that he decided to get a junior photographer involved to show lighting techniques. The bottom line is there was still an original agreement that I would receive the CD photo images. There is no document that states that both parties agreed to reverse on the original agreement.
MARTIN TORRE'S FALSE CLAIM - He claims that he replied to my multiple emails.
THE FACT - He emailed me once on the very same day of the photo shoot in September. He initiated that email to show me one measly photo on an email attachment. That email was NOT A REPLY on the multiple requests I made to him over the COURSE OF SEVERAL MONTHS. I emailed him seven (7) times in October, November and December to ask him when he will send me the photos on the following dates:
Oct. 9 - No response from photographer Martin Torre on status of photos in CD
Oct. 18 - No response from photographer Martin Torre
Oct. 22 - No response from photographer Martin Torre
Nov. 20 - No response from photographer Martin Torre
Nov. 25 Left voicemail on Martins cell phone No Response from Martin Torre
Nov. 25 - No response from photographer Martin Torre
Dec. 10 - No response from photographer Martin Torre
Dec. 23 - No response from photographer Martin Torre
Here is the copy of the email threads below proving that I emailed Martin Torre and that he ignored my numerous requests in October, November and December. Also note that I called him and left him a voicemail on November 25th with no repsonse, and my email states that I did so. Again, no response from this irresponsible photographer.

Hi Martin,
How's the wedding photography world coming along? Just checking in to see how the edits to the photos are coming along. I hoped your friend Janet got some good tips out of the photoshoot.

Hello! How are you feeling these days? I just got over a nasty cold.
I received my flu vaccine two weeks ago. Whoever said that you don't
catch a cold from the flu vaccine must be wrong! This is the 2nd time
I got sick in the past 5 years right after I got my Vaccine. I don't
think it's a coincidence. Well let me know when I can get the CD of my
photoshoot. I'm curious how they turned out.
I hope you get some rest this Turkey week and that there are no
weddings for you this holiday weekend!

I received your text message yesterday. That's good news. Will I receive the retouched photos by the end of this year?
