Photographer Learned About VIBE Shutdown in Mid-Shoot

Well... that kinda sucked. It may be a sign of the times as well when you read that the owner of a rental studio 'freaked out' at possibly losing 400 bucks... sheesh.

Photographer Learned About VIBE Shutdown in Mid-Shoot:

"At exactly the same time, reports were beginning to spread online that VIBE magazine was folding. Within a few hours, VIBE Media Group had announced that the entire company was going out of business immediately.

Think Big Studios owners Craig Persin and Lynn Renee learned about the news on Facebook. They're friends with a lot of photographers, and one of them had posted a link to a story about VIBE closing down.

Persin immediately realized they might not get paid for the use of the studio, for which they were charging $390. “I realized, David’s not paying me. VIBE’s the one who signed the contract,” Persin recalls. “I started to freak out.”"
