I HAVE WORKED WITH MIKEY STONE from Cutting Edge Beauty- ON SEVERAL PHOTOSHOOTS ONLY TO BE CHEATED, MANIPULATED, TORMENTED, DECEIVED, LIED TOO and HARRASSED, The list goes on and on. charging me 20 dollars for pulls- when there was not pull fee's- or even pocketing money from pulling dresses for furne one- telling me to go buy wigs, then never using them, or go buy 3 bags of hair extentions so I can eat it!! then its Bossy Tossy!!! making me look really bad in front of the models- or rat biting my hair!! my haircut sucks! taking over everything!! ORDER OUT OF CHAOS! MIXING UP INFO ON BOTH SIDES, so he is aware of the truth and no one else!! AND POTTY MOUTH talking very vulgar in front of the models- and slow as a*s! he makes everyone else carry his stuff in! LAZY!
Cancelling very last minute on several photoshoots! mixing up info- controlling everything!! - or always being late!!! nothing but lies! twist and turning the info to make him look better! slandering my name- threatening to call the city on me! over and over!! its just harrassement! japanese water torture.... peck peck peck.... endless text messages for days!!
he charged a girl 450.00 who works at Mcdonalds and then even trys to scam me on my 1/2 of the money- makes us go to subway, he offers to buy us a sandwich at $8.99, but then the next day validates charging me 50 dollars!! saying its an exspense account lunch and he wants to deduct it from my shoot- sorry that makes no sense!
so out of 450 dollars he was gonna take 50 and only give me 200- so that was upsetting-
then he tells me he has a big shoot with PAUILE DESIGNS- well 500 turns too 350 on the day of the shoot! good 10 hours of cleaning my studio and setting up- 6-8 hours shoot- 5 models during the shoot- mikey says oh!!! its gonna be 300- We need 50 for food, and he said it was for Alexis the stylist, then he said make sure you get reinbursed by the food,becouse we are- so its just mixed up information every time- so cannot tell me the break down-but I am sure he's getting more then 100 dollars like he said he did- he was suppose to pay me that day after the shoot- he said he would paypal the money when he got home- he paid 150 in cash 3 days later, came over at 10 pm at night YELLING!
All my neighbors could here- He was SCREAMING!! SAY A B*CH TO MY FACE 25 times loud! BLAAA BLAA BLAAA- then Starting a fight, he was saying all day, oh ill be there in 15 minutes, right around the corner- about 15 times- then he threatended to destroy my photography career and slander my name knowing my check would bounce!! doesn't care!
and the other half in paypal 6 days later from the shoot-
so I was already mad about all this, he changes the prices all the time!! then its ok theres a budget for the edits- 10 hours of edits about 45 pictures and 28 pg look book finished! and I got nothing!! late on my bills , on my way to getting kicked out becouse he lied about the entire shoot!! and his lies!! after I send him the edits and he says - oh were not paying you for the edits and were going with another photographer- and I never got paid for the edits! and he slandered my name, and he still is harrassing me- he feeds off of other peoples pain!!! he caused me to drink after being sober for over a year on the Alive shoot!! I was livid!! He will get in your soul and turn you too stone!! he really f*ked things up for me and my life, and I just want to die from all the pain he has caused me!

I am tired of MIKEY STONE telling these lies- I would never give any model pot brownies, thats a total lie- thats just SLANDER!!
for one - a model gave be a tiny bag of mm flavored pretzels- the entire bag couldn't get anyone high- and I only asked mikey if he wanted 1 lttle pretzel, and I would never give my models anything- J E S U S !!!
And I said, my model gave me some mm prezels do you want to try one Mikey- and he freaked out about it! so I just put them in the kitchen!
I don't even smoke weed anymore, that was for the car accident I was in, and believe me I only smoked when I couldn't sleep. maybe 2 nights a week!
I swear some people do not know what the truth is! always ORDER OUT OF CHAOS with guy! But the last year has been just MIKEY telling everyone! in the industry lies and bullying me! Models would say, mikey said this about you- I don't even do fashion week anymore! everyones been treating me like a monster since this happen!
I mean how horrible my life has been since he has done this- I care so much about everyone I work with, and try to help MUA/HAIR stylist, and models, and help them learn and work together, and everyone thinks I am such a bad person, when their is no truth in anything he has said
I am a good soul, and Mikey has too torment all the good photographers, ask anyone! I just want to be left alone- PLEASE!!! JUST STOP HARRASSING ME!!

MIKEY from cutting edge beauty has gone too many lengths to slander my name through out this industry- I was mad about him stiffing me on the last PHOTOSHOOT, He thinks he's GOD! so he can slander, change the prices, then make up stories so he looks better- as he does with so many clients- He has issues on what the truth is- If he just paid me the full amount on time none of this would ever of happen- I have no problem with say 50 of my other hair and MUA, everyone likes me.
they all want to work with me again. But I have had models tell me that Mikey has been slandering my name- He tells everyone, and its a lie!! what did I do?? what? for you too slander my name so so so much!!!! He is ruining my reputation, I have lost work becouse of his slander, and he just lies and cheats his way to the top. I just want to shoot and make art- theres no reason for me to compete with a MUA- but not paying me is a crime, and he asked me too shoot here in my studio-
5 models, over 15 gigs of images and 50 edits and 30 page lookbook and he shorted me in funds, say 30 hours of work for 500 dollars!!! so he pocketed the rest!! then slandered my name- My studio has never been an issue with cleanliness- besides its mostly outdoors!! hello!! ....I test for mostly all the agencies, Ive done many covers, and the models love me!- I have to deal with this issue over and over-because mikey is a bully-

Wow today has been a blessed day to even find a site that allows people to slander and defame others LEGALLY without any consequences just baffles me. The photographer who is ranting on this site is name Ray John Pila and he is a filthy disgusting photographer who just plain out should not be working anymore!
I show up on set which is his FILTHY apartment. I actually had to force him to clean on several occassions because it was just gross. Clients deserve a clean space to work.
I have done trade for this guy so so so many times. He begs for my business partner and I to work with him because ALL HE has is vintage clothes and anyone who works with him or books him can tell you the truth. I have models and people walk off set and cancel on location.
I'm going to keep this very short and str8 forward.
Ray John Pila has a pot smoking problem and I swear on my career and everything I love, there was a time he tried to serve me and my model pot brownies and IM LIKE WTF! Really pot brownies on set while we are working.
He is just not all there. Calls me at all hours of the night telling me to lift a voodoo curse that I placed on him and that he cant pay his rent and bills and its all my fault. Really, grow up. It's you that is gross and disgusting to work with! Excuse me for being a creative director, doing makeup, doing hair, and styling! My rates per day are $500 per day so what is the problem what and who I charge. The client you are referring to would not appreciate you calling her personal business on this site on blast. And so what is she works at Micky Ds - She is a model wanting to pay ME to make her fabulous I can charge her whatever I want.
Anyways I dont need to get into anything else about this horrible photographer! STAY AWAY from THIS PHOTOGRAPHER! RAY JOHN PILA....... RUN if he contacts you to shoot.
Am I difficult to work with? Not at all
Do I get the job done? you can clearly see my work at www.cuttingedgebeauty.biz and www.aandmproductions.biz
Do people like me? Yes of course
Do people hate me? Yes of course hello
Do people say I'm difficult to work with? Of course
All in all this rant was patheitc and a desperate cry to making me upset I BARELY saw this and he just contacted me a few weeks ago wanting to shoot for a crackhead inspired shoot and I SAID HELL TO THE NO!!! And then I see this! OMG lord have mercy
