I am a professional photographer and was recently contacted via email by an individual named Christian Cox, who claimed to represent The Knot magazine. The message outlined what appeared to be a legitimate opportunity to photograph a wedding editorial-style shoot, offering a payment of $8,500 for the project. The individual stated I would be paid $5,000 directly and then instructed to pay $3,500 to talent (a makeup artist and hairstylist). While the project was presented in a professional manner with detailed shoot instructions, the email lacked basic professional identifiers — there was no official The Knot logo, no company contact details, phone number, or professional signature. This raised red flags, as such a reputable publication would typically include verifiable contact information.

The individual also mentioned sending a cashier’s check to initiate the project and continued to follow up with instructions, despite receiving minimal response from me. I found it suspicious that I was given full creative control yet no formal contract, team introductions, or verifiable details were provided. After comparing this communication to industry norms and reaching out to other professionals who have worked with The Knot, I became increasingly concerned this was a scam using the name of a well-known brand to target photographers. I am submitting this report to raise awareness and help prevent others from falling victim to this potential fraud.

Scammer identified themselves as a professional photographer/casting director with Studio X Art (A Photographer/modeling agency out of California) who found me through Backstage.com (A website for actors and performers looking for work). I was selected for a photo shoot where they sent me a check for $4660.00 and wanted $660.00 of that check sent back to them for the clothing purchase. I knew this was a scam (I'm a retired Detective), and once I got the check and an email to where to send the money I reported it to the Gwinnett County Police Department (Case#*********) and Wells Fargo (Check information). I don't know how they got my email information (Possibly from someone I worked with from Backstage (But not the Backstage entity itself). Possible victim(s) and or suspect(s) out of California, Alabama, and Arizona. I have a copy of the file if needed (Similar to ScamPulse.com Scam ID#675221)
