Urban Stylz, urbanstylz.net, Peter Lopane real name Piero Lopane DJ Subsonik, Peter Cornelli, Peter Castenelli Urban Stylz ,Piero Lopane, Has several counts of copyright infringement and cease & disist letters due to harassment and defamation of character. Montreal, Quebec
Piero Lopane, who goes by the name Urban Stylz has several counts of copyright infringement and harassment cases form companies such as Aldo, Le Chateau, Greiche & Scaff, Blush Lingerie, Centropolis Laval, Women'secret Lingerie and many more. He has stolen photographs that were taken by world famous photographers and claimed them to be photographed by him. Not only posting them on his Urban Stylz website but his personal site as well pierolopane.com.
As if copyright infringement was not enough, Peter is known for defamation of people on public forms such as facebook. He insults the very people that he works with, makeup artist, models and of course fellow photographers. His insults range from the person work ethics, physical appearance and social life. Extremely personal and hurtful things.
He claims to be internationally published, yet the only record of publication is Glam Jam magazine, which, with very little research showed that it is registered to his name. All other publications were used to depict stories about people that had previously shot with him. He has never hired by a magazine.
This man has caused women to quit modelling, he has cause boyfriends of models and makeup artists to have to call and make threats to him to stop harassing them.
His quality of work is horrible, hes work ethics unprofessional, and he is a legal nightmare, as we never know if the photos we see of his have really been taken by him. And we never know where the photos that he does take will end up.
I suggest that anyone thinking of hiring him does some serious home work. And if you are simply a model trying to make it, shoot with a real professional, they are easy to spot next to men like this.

Finally Justice has been served in 2017. Anthony Turano Exposed for Sexual Misconduct and making FAKE Anonymous claims on this web site.

I am the owner of the company and many years later this post is still here. What has changed is that the person who made teh FKAE claims back in 2012 was none otehr than one of my competitors Anthony Turano. The same guy who was exposed for sexual assulat by many of his models and it was all over the Montreal news. Karma is truly a bi*h as they say. After years of Anthony fabricating fake stories under anonymous names, suchas on this web site, he did everything he could to burry all of us and his competition to make himself look good. Fast forward to 2017 and he was finally exposed as a fraud and liar.
Below are articles pertaining to news broadcasts and models telling their stopries of how Anthony would promiss them published photos in magazines in return for sexual favors.
1- JOURNAL DE MONTREAL: journaldemontreal.com/2017/11/16/allegations-dagression-et-de-harcelement-sexuel-contre-un-photographe-de-mode-montrealais
2- TVA NOUVELLES: tvanouvelles.ca/2017/11/06/il-sollicitait-des-faveurs-sexuelles-lors-de-sessions-photo
3- PETAPIXELS: petapixel.com/2017/11/07/fashion-photographer-goes-dark-accusations-sexual-misconduct/
As of this writing he has dissapeared from all social media, and is nowhere to be found. If he was not guiulty, why did he dissapear? Why did he not confront the allegations? SIMPLE. Anthony Turano is a compulsive liar who has ruined the lives and careers of many people
FINALLY, JUSTICE HAS BEEN SERVED.

Lawyer response to false accusations made against Mr. Lopane

I am the lawyer of Mr. Lopane. We have worked for several weeks on finding the person who made false accusations and defamation towards my client. Evidence we collected point out to one individual who happens to be a competitor of our client. His name has been mentioned by another poster above.
Our client has NEVER received any letters of copyright infringement from ANY company that was mentioned here, and has never harassed anyone. These are lies! The person making these accusations is another photographer who is clearly jealous about Mr. Lopane's past and current success. To make such hateful and slanderous comments in order to ruin our client's reputation is against the law an this person will have to face judicial action as we have concrete evidence against him now.
*** PLEASE NOTE ***
I would advise anyone reading this or finding this page in a google search to be more wise and intelligent and just ask our client , Mr. Lopane himself questions. He is more than glad to answer them. You can't always believe what you read on the internet !
Feel free to contact Mr.Lopane and visit some of his great Wedding Photography talents at http://www.flickr.com/photos/pierolopane/
In closing, if any of these accusations were true, why is my client still shooting and getting booked? That alone should answer all your doubts about the validity of these lies.
Have a good day.

P.S. A l'individu qui se permet de faire de la diffamation propos de Peter, vous devriez avoir hnte de vos gestes totallement immature et illgales!
I worked with Peter two months ago and I totally enjoyed my photo! It was my very first photo shoot with him and it was a year that I wanted to work with. Finally the opportunity had arrived! Unlike mentionned lies at the very beginning here in English, Peter are a great artist, and he managed to make me feel confortbale front of his camera. Also I really appreciated that you jases me during the session, I was greatly put at ease. Kind of embarrassed, he had the gift to get my picture on perssonalit! Peter, you are very nice, and VERY talented! Thank you for the great experience!

Je connais Peter depuis un bon 10 ans. J'assistes toutes ses sances photos car je fais parti de son quipe depuis longtemps. Aprs avoir lu la diffamation port contre lui par cet individu ''anonyme' je peut confirmer que le tout est entirement faux. Mme que j'ai une ide sur qui est ce photographe d'origine Italienne jaloux au nom d'Anthony Turano qui veux tenter de ternir la rputation de Peter pour essayer d'augmenter la sienne. Montral la comptition est forte dans ce milieu cependant quand on doit voir des actions totallement irresponsables et immature poss par des individus jaloux du succs des autres, honte vous! C'est pas en essayant de dtruire la rputation d'un autre que vous allez augmenter votre propre crdibilit.
De plus, un site web comme ceci qui permet n'importe qui de pouvoir faire du ''bashing'' de rputation des autres gratuitement, en plus d'y rester anonyme, est totalement illgale et absurde.
Le fait que Peter fais de la photo depuis plus de 15 ans et qu'il continues le faire toujours et y connatre du succs ne peut que rendre certains comptiteurs jaloux aux point d'utiliser l'internet pour causer des dommages psychologiques et montaires. En souhaitant que KARMA vas vous revenir en pleine figure au cher individu qui a pris le temps de crer toute une histoire de fiction ici. Honte vous!

The person who has made this ''claim'' currently has authorities tracing the IP address as well as their collecting their personal info. You can't hide behind a computer screen any longer. I am also in the process of getting a subpoena/ court order to have the claim removed from this website as well as google search results. These accusations are false and have been made with the clear intent to harm the integrity of our business. They are a violation of US and Canadian SLANDER
AND DEFAMATION LAWS AS WELL AS DISCLOSING PRIVATE INFORMATION. I strongly suggest to anyone reading this, that before judging me or my business that they refer to our REAL references.
Thank you and have a nice day.

So I get a couple of phone calls from clients and associates of mine telling me someone with a vivid imagination is spreading rumors on the internet about my work, my psychological mind frame and my ethics. HAHAHAHA!
First off let's get one thing straight half of the companies you decided to randomly thrown out there I have never head of before in my entire life (Blush Lingerie, Women'secret Lingerie and the'' many more'' that you claim and fail to mention) Who are they? I never heard of these names before.
Next time you want to make someone look bad come up with more DETAILED FACTS.
''He has never hired by a magazine'' HAHAHA ...And how do you know? I have plenty of magazines at home that have been published with our photography in them as well as credited. Again you make claims without any valid proof and fact.
From the looks of if you sound like a petulant jealous/envious individual who is in collusion with a few more like yourself trying to make my team of artists and I look bad.
'' This man has caused women to quit modelling, he has cause boyfriends of models and makeup artists to have to call and make threats to him to stop harassing them'' Oh really, so so if any of this were actually true, why am I still shooting and why do we get models calling us for our services!
With all these fabrications you should consider writing a book, you do sound like one hell of a fictional writer with vivid imagination and also lack of credibility. I doubt you would make the NY Times best seller list!
If anyone reading this wants a list of legitimate testimonials feel free to contact us. It is unfortunate that the internet is filled with poor excuses of human beings such as the person who made these extremely slanderous allegations. The Lord will remember this...

It seems as if there are people on the Internet who just love to trash the reputation of others to make themselves look better. First of all any LAW FIRM would never go on a site like this putting out all sorts personal and distorted information. That in it by it self is ILLEGAL and I am sure lawyers of any stature, independent or in a firm know this.
We have worked with Peter for many years and he has always been very sociable and friendly and above all very professional. In fact one of his strong points is his engaging personality with others, which I assume make his competition jealous enough to write slanderous comments about him and his work.
Also for anyone who knows anything about Photoshop, it is very easy to take a screen capture of a web site and photoshop-in a photo that is claimed was not his...all in the name of making him look guilty. As one mentioned, you shouldnt believe everything you read and see on the internet in 2012 as there is plenty of fabricated stories online.

We have worked with Peter for a very long time and all the negative accusations of his person are false. For the individual writing such inflammatory and accusations on a public forum such as this web site and then being classified as ''LAW FIRM'' clearly doesnt see the monumental defamation he or she is doing. Talk about knowing your law!
The internet is filled with people who enjoy tarnishing the reputation of others and as one of Peter's long standing clients I can assure you these fabrications are unfounded. With sentences such as '' I suggest that anyone thinking of hiring him does some serious home work. And if you are simply a model trying to make it, shoot with a real professional '' This can only come from an envious photographer or individual Peter has refused working with in the past. The truth lies within the person so go ask him yourself and see for yourself. Always take what you read on the internet with a grain of salt.
