I was number 574 in the system, was with them for 7+ years at the time of my braking point debacle. I posted and image I was so very proud of depicting a female model on a white sheet sort of sprawled out. The image was heavy contrast, heavy shadows, and on top of it all the model had a rather healthy growth of natural coverage. They banned the image on my portfolio claiming it violated the content rules. At the same time the model had it as her main image. I fought back, went back and forth, collected a list of profile numbers with blatant pornography. They replied with the most nasty un-business-like e-mails, until finally I was banned altogether. <B>The model still has the same image as her main image three years later LOL.</B> In the end the moral of the story is I never found, never hired any models from OMP. I have never found anyone with anything good to say about OMP---save for themselves and now they are in team with Ujena (another company I dealt with as one of their contract photographers back during their first incarnation pre-bankruptcy in Mt. View CA. Ujena shares it's business practices so two alikes found strength in numbers). Anyhow, point is OMP just forces their market by pushing out and buying out sites that pose a threat. I suppose Model Mayhem will be next (MM is by the way a great premise with terrible execution). <BR/>Just thought I would share.
