I dealt with Tim Grant in 2003 when I first started in modeling and knew very little of how this industry worked. He contacted me through One Model Place and suggested to set up a shoot. He also gave me the same story of how he worked with all these top designers and worked closely with companies such as FUBU and Pelle Pelle, etc. He even used one particular model (which was probably in the schemes with him) and claimed that he was responsible for all of her success and such, trying to use her as motivation for me. I too gave the down payment of $300 which was to guarantee 3 photoshoots total in which he said wardrobe and makeup would be taken care of. I shot one shoot at an apartment which he claimed belonged to the model which he always boasted about which was located on the upper east side. She was there and so was a makeup artist. After shooting, I NEVER saw the images. I shot another shoot with him in the STAIRWELLS of Ripley Grier studios (520 Eighth Avenue, NY, NY) where he grabbed two outfits from a local showroom; and then he proceeded to pursuade me to take my clothes off for a "modern art/art nude" project for what he called was a coffee table project that he was putting together. Nonetheless, I was treated as pray and was put in a horrific, vulnerable and uncomfortable position. These images he did miraculously deliver however. In an effort to recieve my missing images, I called and called for months and he never responded or would act as if he lost phone signals, etc. Almost a year later I also found out that the model that he boasted so much about quit working with him, and as for the makeup artist I also ran into him and he had horrible things to say about him including the fact that he still owed him money. After being in the industry now almost 5 years everyone knows that Tim Grant is a pathetic joke, and sadly I know plenty of models personally that have dealt with the same crap. I WISH Tim Grant would take this to court because I can guarentee that the number of models that would show up to testify against him would not come in small numbers. He is a pervert and sick minded person. He owes plenty of people that I know serious amounts of money and/or unfinished work and is nothing but a coward that dodges everyone's phonecall. He is lewd and beyond a molester. SEX OFFENDER!!!
