Unless there was any kind of stipulation on the release you signed (I take it you DID sign one?!), there's not a great deal you can do I'm afraid. But you can however let anyone who wants to know which company it was so that they can't do this again in the future!!

Did you put a stage name on the release form?

I always make a point of asking what name to call them on the sites.
Quite a few do user there real names but any producer should check this out of common courtesy.

why you so worried?

My model release includes a line that says "Modelling Name" and thats the name i always use, i do ask for the real name as it has to match the ID thats present.

Id say ask them to change it, if they dont, inform them politely that you will let others know if they do not, be polite tho, and let them kno most models wont work with someone who do that. but first ask and be polite and make a mild suggestion

Thanks 4 advice.
I did sign release and made a point of not using my real name. Yes Bf is not happy!
Answering "why i want to use a stage name" - I think its more professional and safer.Alot of models use stage names.I think its a good idea to protect your real name in this industry unless you feel confident in advertising yr real name. Personal choice I guess.

Anyway no reply from photographer yet!
