Robert Gerhardt is a amateur photographer who prays on young, naive models on www.onemodelplace.com that are new to the business. Once on the phone with Mr. Gerhardt he will critique models bodies up to the point where they either cry or hang up. He is very unprofessional and it shows in his work which coincidentally proves he does not have antiquate photography skills and all his photos look the same. This man is complete ### and should be avoided at all cost! Google his phone number and one will see that he is indeed a perverted old man just looking for fresh meat. This man is not a professional do not fall for this hoax! Professional photographers pay models unlike this guy who only wants to "test shoot" don't believe him he will NEVER pay. On a side note it is obvious Robert is a closet homosexual and very rude. Robert only cares about his how thin the model is and does not care about anything else he will call models "fat" for no reason even when they are not since he does not have a real photographer eye. If you are a model and contacted by Robert just ignore him he will keep sending emails.

I want to correct grammactical error: We did have a CONTRACT, I paid to him, he took my money to do photos for me, and for my websites. It was a reason of my going from EAST COAST to WEST. Bobby gerhardt said that he was Famous Playboy Photogrpaher, that he worked for PLAYBOY magazine in LA, and he has famous models and sctresses as his clients: like HEIDI FLEISH, or his wife (ex Wife) Victoria SELLERS.

I posted all those photos on my websites http://www.LaFemmeDC.com
and http://www.LaFemmeDC.net

I wanted to add his roductions photos to my message but it is not adding.

Bobby contacted me from OneModelplace.com where he was scouting for fresh models. He said that he is PLAYBOY Magazibe model scouter, and wanted to shoot me. But he wanted me to pay to him.
After negotiations, I bought a ticket to fly from BWI to San Diego, and paid to him in cash over one thousand US Dollars. I stood in his house in BONITA. After the shoot, I came back home in B, MD, and I posted all the Photos and videos on my websites www.LaFemmeDC.com and www.LaFemmeDC, com.
He Bobby Gerhardt, contacted me several times and shouted and screamed and thretened me with law suit, so that if I will not remove photos of me, from my webistes, for what I paid to him in 2002 in OCT, --he will loose his clients job and he will file a law suit against me. what for? I paid to him, for havin his photos. There was no Contact that I cannot post those images of me on my webiste. So I did remove it in 2005. But I reposted them all over again and I use it since I paid for it with money and have receipt.
If you go to shoot with BOBBY GERHARDT, demand from him a receipt for your photos shot, that you to him in cash,
and that you will post and use those photos on your business website.Modeling or videos or fashion etc.
Obtain his signature and date and place and in this way he canont write threats like he posted to me. What is ridiculous. But I first got scared, then I got pitty of him, because in 2005 he called to me and said hat he was in Hospital, with cancer and that he is dying.
I found this board, and I see that he is not dead and that it was yet another trick to foul me.
I am Swedish American Model and Actress, and nasty people, cheaters an scammers can foul me. but not anymore.
Now I go to study American LAW in Local DC VA college.
And put my money earned in Modeling and acting to work for me n a form of Tuition for College.
So beware girls out there -- also when I was in BONITA, in his house there were COYOTE crying at night. It scared me a little bit. He joked that if I die, he will throw me to the coyotes to eat. Or sell me to Mexicans. What was not an easy feeling.

He is indeed an A *hole. But I got to know him well, a few years to be exact. He tells it like it is, that's for sure. My advice is to grow
thicker skin, believe it or not, his intentions are good. He's just been through a lot of s* it. And he has been in the industry a very long time.
He is very talented at photo editing. I am an amateur photographer and he helped me a lot. Went way out of his way to take
time with me and teach me about stock photography and advised me to not shoot any adult. He's a great person. I have attached
a comp card he designed from one of my images.

I'm not a model either but while living in SD I met "Bobby" and we hung out a few times. I was young and stupid looking back I can't believe I gave this joker the time of day. He loved to call everyone fat including me. He will tailor his beliefs and opinions to suit whom ever he is talking to. He will say what he thinks you want to hear. He did take some pics of me and I regret it to this day...no telling where these pics ended up! Basically just steer clear of this guy. This was years ago and from the sound of the two prior complaints he is still up to his tricks! I fear for young girls who would be prone to fall for this (like I did). It is a sick world trust no one!

I am not a model but I live in San Diego and I responded to Robert's ad on Craigslist for a studio for rent on his property. After speaking to him on the phone it was clear he was an "interesting" individual but he seemed nice so I checked out the place anyway. First off, the studio wasn't even a studio, but rather the other half of his house. He spent over an hour telling me tall tales of all his experiences in the fashion industry and was name dropping like crazy. Clearly from the size and age of his house and the fact that he drives an incredibly old Cadillac I knew he wasn't who he was saying he was. He told me he was the CEO of FE Fashion (?) but when I called them they had no idea who he was. I sent him an email the next day politely stating that I would not take the place and he responded with a very long, very passive aggressive email taking cheap shots at everything from my job to my dog being fat (which she totally isn't!). Also, it took some investigative work on my end to find out who he is, because he never gave me his full name and he often goes by different names such as BG, Bobby G, Bobby Gerhardt, and Robert Gerhardt. His email address is webink@pacbell.net, and his phone number is the same that is listed above. Stay away from this guy, he is incredibly creepy.
