Francois Vision is a very unprofessional photographer! Upon meeting him on Model Mayhem, he told me that he would give me a great deal on a package for about $200. He didnt specify whether or not I would get any edited
images so I didnt assume thats what I was getting. After agreeing to get the package he told me that we would have to set up a date to shoot. He also told me what to wear for my shoot which I thought was crazy considering the fact
that I was already paying money for his services and not his suggestions.
The day comes for the shoot and I finally meet him. He was very friendly and unintimidating at first, but little did I know that this would be the MOST uncomfortable and unprofessional experience I ever had. He turned into an aggressive and perverted fraud. He KEPT finding reasons for touching me in inappropriate ways, to fix my poses, so he said. He
continuously groped my rear end and inner thighs while I was in a bikini.
After the shoot he told me that he would submit some of my photos to an industry friend of his. He also said that in order for some people to get famous they have to give a friendly exchange to industry people. To be more specific, theses friendly exchanges are sexual favors. Since he made it clear to me that he was an industry insider I was certain that he was indirectly saying that he expected something from me. I played stupid and ignored his statement to avoid
entertaining it but he then asked what my breasts looked like and then told me he needed, not wanted, to see them. He then gave an excuse stating that if I wanted to model I would have to lighten up a bit because plenty of realmodels would do it and that this incident happens pretty casually in the fashion industry. I said I didnt want to and that I had to leave but he insisted and even told me to have an alcoholic drink with him.
I declined and went home. Yes, Francois Legagneur is inappropriate and pretentious. On his page his only professional looking pictures are pictures of fashion week models from fashion shows. So dont be fooled! He is only hired to snap shots of these type of events. As far as how my pictures came out: they looked like regular pictures from a camera phone.
Also, he exploits other models on his Facebook. He posts all of the unedited shots that youve paid for on his page for the public to see. WHY? I have no clue.
Stay away if you can! I hope my experience has helped enough. Moreover, im hoping that whoever is his next victim does research on him and finds this report.
All Im asking is for anyone else to share some experiences theyve had with him. Please dont be scared. This is the only way to stop him.

AUTHOR: anon - (United States of America)
SUBMITTED: Friday, October 21, 2011
I Am a former client and employee of Mr.Francois Legagneur and i can ensure you that these accusations above are FALSE! . Francois did not display any unprofessional conduct with his models/clients. He did not touch his model inappropriately nor make sexual innuendos. the following accusations were filled by a Jealous and Upset client who got what she was promised (photos,prints) but wanted more, As most humans always want more. I have also woked as Mr.legagneurs Assistant and have first hand witnessed The Fake accusations,Sexual requests (from clients to legagneur which were denied) as well as Other employess who have also worked for WEKNOWTV, Francois company who have gossiped fake stories after they though that they deserved more (better pay) Although most of the work done is unpaid and the employees knew that from the start!! I can firmly assure you that Francois is a good man and this are wrong and LIESSSS!!!!
