Brandon Batemon Located In Pine Bluff And Chicago Scammed Me

I see that Brandon Batemon is still at his old ways of scamming people. He is originally located in Pine Bluff and frequently goes to Chicago. His phone number is 501-551-8893 which he uses as his primary tool to lure models in to take photos of them. Based on other reviews, it appears that Brandon is now taking advantage of models and making naughty advances towards them.

Brandon Batemon is someone that I would never trust with taking photos. He was extremely unprofessional and I honestly feel sorry for the individuals that pay money to have him take photos. He is an amateur photographer and puts on the act that he is a high class photographer that is well known. I invite you all to Google Brandon Batemon to see for yourself he is a scammer.

Brandon Batemon Scams In Pine Bluff And Chicago


If you ever run into Brandon Batemon. Run away! He doesn't know the basics of photography. One of my business partners told me that Brandon wasted a models time with not removing the lense cap during the photo session. Amateur move. This could be overlooked if he wasn't a scammer related to money.

There are multiple bad reviews online related to Brandon taking money or overcharging drastically for shoots. To see the truth you only need to read more about his reviews online. Not reading consumer reviews can put you at risk of getting ripped off by con artists like Brandon Batemon. The great folks of Pine Bluff and Chicago should be aware of his fraudulent ways.

N'Visioned Magazine Stole From Us - Brandon Batemon Is A Con Artist

Dealing with N'Visioned Magazine is one of the biggest mistakes that I made in my career that almost cost me my future and my lifes work. I found Brandon Batemon due to the very few quality photographers in Arkansas. I was passing through and needed to get some quality shots in while I was here.

Its awkward

Its a pleasure to always know that you have fans. The love that you receive from so many people. But you feel a disconnection. I come to a realization that many faces I see that I might not get the pleasure to ever see again. Its rather mind blowing as we get older and meet people and share your time with individuals.

I sit here on my way to another gig and its crazy to see how different things have changed from month to month. We are truly blessed by delivering music to our fans. I will always do this. Always.

Agony of traveling

We have been going on the road almost nonstop. Most people say that being in a band is easy. No way. Imagine being on the road for majority of the month. Its amazing how much time you waste away. I just sit here and think about all of the miles we put on.

Its just amazing what we sacrifice for success. To the band.

Its difficult to win sometimes.

I have always had problems with getting my band the exposure that it needs. I would pay people to promo me all the time locally and it never ended up working out for me. It would cost me thousands so after a while, I realized that I needed to find another solution to my exposure. The stress of paying all of this money for promoting myself was very frustrating and often made it difficult for me to get a good nights rest.

I decided it would be a cool idea to check online.

Not a good idea. This is when my career really took a turn for the worse. I hired an agency to build me a website and do all of the branding. It was nice. New site that showed our brand along with a lot of hope that our following would find us and give us some love.

We would publish our stuff on all avenues. We would do Myspace, Facebook, Twitter and even classified sites. Nothing was left behind when it came to pursuing our dreams.

I hired a guy named Alex Novaes to build the website and do the entire design and promo work. He was a solid dude. Got everything setup in a small amount of time and it was very straight forward.

I hired a guy from Wyoming named Andrew Santisteven that managed all of our gigs and helped us get more shows. Very good stuff to have online.

It was good but I needed more exposure. Got more followers and fans. But we needed to be big. Hired Euri Morvix in Europe to mess with our Google plus account to give us authorship. Had a really bad experience hiring a guy that went by vikas3445 to get us more Facebook and Twitter fans. Got us exposure for only a week and then the followers fell off. No refund or anything.

After we lost all of our followers, we then got our Twitter account banned. We had 6k followers and growing before hiring him for this service. We had to rebuild and rebrand from the dramatic fan loss. It took some time but we eventually regained most of our lost fans.

Growth is a very slow process but its very much worth it if you proceed and push forward. I'm very grateful that I stumbled and went through all of the ups and downs in my career. Being in a band is a sore ass thing to deal with. The rewards are great only if you can endure the long path along with the work.

God bless us for doing this. Its amazing to see all of this going into light after working my ass off to the very edge of my life.

Just starting

It always feels the same. Always feels like I'm just starting. When I get in front of the crowd it always feels like the first time I'm doing this. Sweat and agony. Here we go again.
