She is 19, which means she is of legal age, and upon taking the photos, she understood that the pictures would be posted on an internet site for public use. By agreeing to the shoot under those speculations, ImportAtlanta has the right to use the photos as it wishes.
That holds ESPECIALLY true if IA actually paid for the photoshoot/photographer's time/etc. I dunno if you guys did, I know there's a lot of pro and semi-pro photographers on here who would do it for free.
Long story short, it is in no way IA's fault that her decision came around to bite her in the ass. She would have something if you guys posted them without her initial consent, but since she gave consent for the photographs to be used as an IA feature model shoot, IA is doing nothing wrong. The "nice" thing to do would be to take them down for her, but there is nothing in the law stipulating that you or IA would be forced to do so. She took the pics knowing they would be put up on a website as a feature model. That's exactly what is being done with them. It's a risk you take when you decide to climb into a pool wearing nothing but a white T shirt and have a website photographer take pics of you for a feature. At the time it probably seemed like a great idea. Tough cookies if it bites you in the ass later, princess.
Dumb hoe.
