Dont really post on forums...but see no other option.
Want to bring up to the public that Kim Nielsen that own ATK does not pay his photographers. Know he own many photographers money. He published my licensed content back in January 2016...but have still not paid us for the content. Tried to write him several times..but he just ignore my emails. Have waited for the payment for more then 6 months...and he dont even care to reply to me. Would like to tell to other people to not doing business with his company. ATK was once very good...but the last years it went downhill for sure.
He own me about 5k usd + another 20k usd to my friend.
Any advice how to get him to pay ?

I shot for ATK from 2000 until several months ago, doing 700+ shoots in that time. I stopped shooting for them because it became so hard to get paid, and the payments (when they came) arrived erratically. The final invoice I submitted took over two months to be paid--and arrived over a month after all the content had appeared on the site--and then was $300 short.
I've been contacted by several ATK shooters over the last year asking if I'm getting paid, and telling me their stories. From what I've heard, I've been lucky because Nielsen owes people money from years ago, and some shooters owed money have actually given up ever getting paid. There was a thread started a couple years ago about this (by Sinclair, I believe), and several shooters posted there that ATK also was not paying them... I looked for the thread, but can't find it.
The payment issue aside, I've heard from people in the know that things at ATK are really bad, and that for a number of years Nielsen has made questionable, if not bizarre, business decisions that have negatively impacted ATK.
