Ariana GrandeandKim Kardashianappear to have indirectly called out celebrity photographer Marcus Hyde - after he offered a free photoshoot to a model in exchange for nude pictures.
Hyde has been a photographer for the likes of Kim Kardashianand Ariana Grande, but he faced backlash yesterday after screenshots of his alleged messages to LA model Sunnaya Nash were shared by Instagram account DietPrada.
On his Instagram stories, the 32-year-old shared an image of a model wearing a see-through bodysuit, writing: 'Who wants to shoot?' which prompted Sunnaya to respond. But, according to the screenshots, when she refused to send nude photos, the photographer said she’d have to pay $2,000 (£1600) to work with him.
'I don't have nude photos. I'm comfortable shooting lingerie and partial nudity,' she told him at the start of the conversation. 'It's 2k then,' he allegedly hit back. 'Lol but nude is free?' she asked, and he responded 'Ya.'
The model then agreed to pose nude but told him that she didn't want to send him naked photos of herself.

The conversation continued, with Sunnaya questioning the cost with, 'Bc I won't send you nude of myself before shooting?, with Hyde allegedly replying, 'Yeah. Gotta see if your [sic] worth it.'
Responding on her Instagram story, Ariana - who has also unfollowed Hyde - wrote, ‘Dear models/artists in LA/anywhere,
‘I have just read some shocking and really heartbreaking stories. I hate that this is a conversation but please do not shoot with photographers who make you uncomfortable or make you feel like you need to take your clothing off if you don't want to.
‘If you want to, sick. But if you don't, please don't. If they tell you you have to pay more money if you're clothed that's fucked and I'm sorry that has happened to you. I promise there are so many respectful, nice, talented photographers out there.

‘I hate hearing about things like this. I am sorry that that was anybody's experience and know that it doesn't have to be.
‘Look out for one another. Tag your friends on posts of other photographers [whose] work you like and have had positive experiences with and help each other get connected.’
Kim Kardashian more recently addressed the allegations on Instagram, writing on her story, 'I have been reading all the messages and stories from women regarding inappropriate and inexcusable behavior of a photographer that I have worked with in the past.
'My own experiences have always been professional, and I am deeply shocked, saddened and disappointed to learn that other women have had very different experiences.
'I stand in full support of every woman's right to not be harassed, asked or pressured to do anything they are no comfortable with. We cannot allow this type of behavior to go unnoticed and I applaud those who speak out.'
However fans were quick to slam the reality TV star after she failed to follow Ariana's suit and unfollow Hyde on Instagram, while she also faced criticism for her decision to label him a 'photographer' she had 'worked with' after previously calling him a friend.
Since the story broke, the Instagram account has shared countless more stories about the photographer from women who have been though similar ordeals.
