Woke up this morning to some messages which got me out of bed quick smart, they were in relation to my Patreon, which I started over a year ago when I was down in some crazy drug induced hole and couldn’t tell up from down.
I’ve made mistakes. Many. I’m trying my best not to make so many, but sometimes the crap keeps resurfacing. I’m now here to stay, and in order to stay I’ve got to make wrongs right.
I had a model reach out to me about her photos being on my Patreon, and that she never approved of them being there. I take this on board with absolute seriousness and full responsibility (or lack there-of!) as I respect all the girls I’ve ever shot with and believe the photos are theirs, not mine (if ever a girl has asked me to take photos down (mostly due to career changes), even if I paid for a shoot, then by all means I always have always taken them down).
I don’t know what I was thinking. I don’t think I was thinking at all. I know I promoted my Patreon a lot when I first launched it, and only 3 days ago I relaunched it, but did not at all see what I had posted in the past.
I’ve since removed any questionable images, and with the photos up there right now I have in writing (well… in messages) that the models in these shots are more than happy for me to have these outtake and uncensored images on my Patreon.
Just a heads up for anyone looking to do something similar with Patreon, be sure you have written permission before hand. Sounds like common sense, right? But I can say common sense has gotten the better or me many a time and I can’t assume all of you that read what I write are full of common sense, so I thought I’d still post this up as a friendly reminder.
Content on my Patreon is thinner than ever now that I’ve deleted a handful of images, but rest assured the girls featured up there right now I have permission from, and I have many more outtakes and uncensored photos to come.
Thanks to those who are willing to support me financially. It’s an embarrassing ask considering my mum has and can pay to keep me going, but I’m trying my best to put my head down and work hard like I used to, and to not rely on her, and I still dream to pay off the huge debts she’s paid on my behalf to own ZEN Garage outright.
