PDN gave an update in the lawsuit against photographer Tod Brody, stating that his lawyers want to drop him as a client. Apparently, he’s been pretty much non-responsive to their attempted communication with him. This is only the latest misstep in a string of bad moves for Brody (including forged model releases and general unprofessional behavior). Let me just state this:
As a professional photographer who’s work has appeared on numerous indie and major label album covers, this is not how a music photographer acts. If only Vampire Weekend would’ve hired me instead… they wouldn’t even be in this mess. I don’t steal images or forge model releases. Most of us don’t.
