Lithium Picnic

[annuin]

This morning I spent some time talking on MSN to a friend back home. A friend of my brother's to be more precise, a kid I've known since he was about knee-high to a grasshopper. Among his myriad interests he's been doing photoshoots now. So I point him towards a few people's sites... Nadya Lev, Viona, and then Lithium Picnic.

Imagine my surprise when I go to the Lithium Picnic site and find a post by Apnea explaining that the site is down because Suicide Girls is suing Philip/LP.

What. The. Fuck.

Anyway, if you ever wanted to own some nice LP prints, getting them now will support LP against this frivolous suit.

From what I gathered from an email from LP to an SG model who asked to shoot a set with him (many SG girls apparently don't realise that he's been booted from the site and all that), the models sign 3 or 5 year contracts. A bit much all things considered.

And I've heard that they don't pay the models all that well, nor the photographers when you factor in that they need to supply a set that's usually something like 40-60+ postable pictures. N shot a few sets with them and I believe she will no longer shoot for them. Though that's also in part because she prefers to do her own projects and choose her own commissions... SG usually requires the whole "undress during set" kind of stuff, which can be fairly limiting I imagine. But I think she mentioned that the money wasn't worth the work involved.
