This account of Seth Sabal’s character is 100% accurate and anyone who says he is a professional must be doing him a favor. I do not live in New York but traveled there on his word that he would take some test shots and introduce me to some agents. He took some photos in his studio(which I still have) and then said he wanted to submit photos for a European magazine called Purple.
He said it was the "interactive issue” and that "he may need to get involved in the photos”. He took me into a room in his studio and locked the door. I assume because his wife was right outside the room (she is also a model). He took off pants and underwear and told me "don’t worry, I won’t get hard I just did a ton of coke”. I left after I realized what was happening.
I called a close friend after I left and explained what happened and also texted with him during, expressing my concern about what direction our shoot was going and wanted someone to know where I was if something happened. That friend reminded me of the event today, and I searched seth’s name assuming I would find something like this because I could not have been the only one. Bottom line- he should not have a job where he is around vulnerable women because he does try to take advanatage of his position.

This is written by a sad and sick person. Seth is a kind, loved, talented, admired and all around nice person. What going on here is, a wannabe photographer, or someone that is just insanly envious of Seth's success.
No one will buy this story, and frankly if your not going to put your name on it, your just a weak, sick, coward.
Also your story doesnt add up, address is wrong, and if your a so called "ex employee" why do you tag sign as "A model" the story doesnt jive. I can only imagine that your a sick person, that cant stand that Seth, even though was deathly ill until about a year ago, can still pick up a camera, run a successful business and take a photograph, you will never ever be able to do.
About naked pictures of models, thats the funniest part, what photographer doesnt have naked pictures of models? I have never seen a tastless image released from Seth. I know for a fact if you look at the archives of any great photographer of fashion there is nude images of women, Demarcheiler, Newton, Avedon, Penn, all of them. What matters is what is published, what is out there. If a model decides to take off thier clothing for a photographer, does that make the photographer a creep?
It really sounds like your out of touch, and completely naive to the fact that hundreds if not thousands of photographers in New York City have nude images of models, even some which could be viewed as tasteless "Terry Richardson". Just because a model does not wear undergarmets does mean she or he are being photographed in a "xrated" way. You obviously have never been on a set with a Mario Sorrenti, Camilla Akrans or a stylist like Patti Wilson, models are naked all day.I think you might want to look in the mirror or visit a mental hospital and get some help, this look like a classic case of self projection.
All I can say is get a life, and sign your complaint so that you can get the crap sued out of you.
Actually that is a waste, I am sure you have no money or success that can be taken from you.
More importantly, internet laws are changing and eventually your IP address will be a record that is avail.
I hope for sake you live out of the juristications of the laws of the United States.

Hi I read the article about Seth.
I think this is orrible ,Because I have been working in a few project with Seth and I never see or feel anything like that mean what this person report on Ripoff against Seth
Maybe this person is just looking at himself in the mirror and just talk about himself.
Anyway also if this is real I think is very bad to do something like that to someone or better publish on the internet this bad opinion about someone.
To Me sound just like a stupid revenge .
All I have to tell to all of you , that Seth His not that kind of person.
I will say is totally the opposite.Nice and generous
Thank you

This is such a total bunch of slander - Seth is a professional, well-intentioned, helpful, and talented photographer....and has not even been in the ny photography business during the last few years. Why the writer of this report has decided to write this malicious report at this time is beyond me...the writer appears to be totally unaware of Seth's business, art, and life in general. why does rip-off reports allow such harmful lies to be published?
