He is lying? Here is another photographer that did not get paid.
From Amir Mirandi, January 30th, 2017
"ATTN: Any professional working in the fitness industry and especially photographers. I have been wanting to make this post for some time but held off out of respect to my friend DB but since he is no longer affiliated with the situation its game on!!!!! I personally have been working in the fitness industry for over 16 years now and have been fortunate not only to have made some amazing friends but also to be a part of the BEST family in the industry that is THE NPC/NPCNEWSONLINE..... I have always been treated with respect both professionally and personally and for that I am always appreciative.
I do however need to raise awareness about a company who continues to screw people over left and right and conduct themselves in a very unethical manner while portraying themselves as one of the BIG GUNS of the industry. I am talking about MUSCULAR DEVELOPMENT... both the website and the magazine!!!! For the past several years they have blazed a trail thru the industry of NOT paying their employees, screwing people over, lying to these people and still continue to do so. As a photographer they hired me to shoot several contests for them in early 2016 and have NEVER honored their end of the bargain by paying me what they owe me. I made several calls and sent numerous emails to both the owner and their person in charge of these matters and over and over I was given the runaround while being lied to. They have done this same exact thing to at least 4 other photographer friends of mine in the industry, some to the tune of $50,000 or more...... all the while the owner of the company continues to take lavish vacations and posts pictures from these same vacations on his social media.....apparently life is good for them and SCREW THE REST!!!!!! This is something I can not tolerate on any level.
So please beware that MUSUCLAR DEVELOPMENT is a corrupt and unethical organization that continues to screw over your peers, pro athletes, writers and photographers. So if you buy their rag magazine or subscribe to their website then you are helping line the pockets of the corrupt lil weasel owner.
We need to stick together and show support for each other in this industry..... so I am letting you know that if MD tries to hire you to do any work MAKE SURE YOU GET PAID UP FRONT or kiss it goodbye......and if you are a fan of the sport you need go no further than NPCNEWSONLINE.COM to get all your news and latest contest results......let show MD what we think of their unethical practices.... delete them and stop supporting them."
