Daniel Arsenault Photography - Daniel Arsenault of Daniel Arsenault Photography is still a Mess

We had another call from Daniel Arseanult of Daniel Arsenault Photography. He constantly exhausted, looks aged, and out of luck. Why? Living a life of lies paves the way to ***. No one will work with him; neither should you. He used to get away with ***, but today the world is small and pure selfishness stinks.. His photo skills are obsolete a bakers dozen among hobbyist. He lets on and talks a great story about all these upcoming big breaks but these made up stories and exaggerations are all he has to offer. We asked around and found out that has never been a finished product on all the projects he told us about. He will not keep commitments. The agency in Los Angeles does not hire him out, its that simple. The never ending list of those who have done him wrong spares no one including his ailing Alzheimer mother,father,and generous always bailing him out brother who is a great son, father, grandfather to all. Daniel Arsenault spends his days using the Internet to prey on people here and there and soon he is trying to solicit a handout,partnership, job, room, food. He is impossible to work with as he will not follow through on his commitments. He hit up everyone he ever went to school with or known asking for work but his bad reputation precedes him. How many more people will not get their pictures, or lose out on a loan when they gave the guy money. He causes trouble everywhere he goes with a temper. I can only imagine the energy this narcissist dude exudes on a daily basis trying to create a " its not my fault, please feel sorry for me" world of his own vision and keep his tracks covered. He is blind to his own actions. Sorry he got your cash. You can be glad you got away with only that. Some did not and were taken to the cleaners emotionally and physically besides monetarily. More people need to come forward, speak up and stop the crookedness, so he moves out of the country and all of us can rest knowing he will not be knocking on our door again.. for a while. He is hard to get rid of. Has anyone ever gotten him to quit bugging? We ignore his calls and say we are busy if he catches us. He said he was back staying in the old neighborhood freeloading. He knows how to spot and use a sucker. Don't let it be you. Women beware he is only out for himself and you are not the only one. He is currently playing at least three women from what he told my husband bragging about his going on state by state. He has violent temper tantrums; one occurred in front of our child after we asked for a background check. He never apologized for scaring us or the baby when he called about something else.

He is a shoplifting psychopath, call police and you should run for the hills!

The words described above about Daniel Arsenault in a negative manner are an extreme abuse of the internet communication and a direct attack on him as a person. I am shocked and disgusted that someone would write such angry words.

If you didn't like him as a photographer, move on. Sounds like a jilted lover, not someone professional. It also sounds like a person (that if a professional) has zero experience in managing "creative" talent and must have been extremely disorganized and not know the strategy of what was supposed to be shot at the session they claim to be at.

A professional art director or designer is the leader, the photographer facilitates. This is a lame site and I look forward to it going away with many lawsuits soon.

Daniel Arsenault might very well be insane. In any event, he is manipulative, incoherent, and literally impossible to work with, for, or around.

I have known Daniel Arsenault (Daniel Arseno, Eddie Scratt) in his "professional" capacity as a photographer (several years ago, in California). It's fortunate for him that a professional license is not required for whatever freelance work he can get, because no half-functioning state employee would grant him a license to do anything but institutionalize himself. Not only is he thoroughly unprofessional and emotionally unbalanced, he is incompetent as a photographer.

Further, he regularly defrauds models, property owners, and crew. He's not bad at telling some half-believable sob story about his ailing mother draining his savings, and then takes advantage of people's sympathy when he claims he will pay them for their work in the future.

I have personally witnessed him defraud people on at least three occasions, and luckily have never agreed to work with him in a capacity where he was responsible for paying me. Each time he persuades the person to work "with" him on a project that is going to be "big," promises to share the profits from the project with the person or pay them later, behaves like an egotistical maniac for the duration of the project, has a tantrum on the set, berates models and crew for bizarre reasons, makes vague promises about payment or photo trades, and soon thereafter leaves town trailing excuses and inexplicable anger.

His behavior extends beyond that of an egotistical, tantrum-throwing diva photographer because it is fueled by apparent delusions. He often has immense trouble communicating coherently and is incapable of focusing his attention on a conversation or task. He acts similar to a person with schizophrenia, and that is not an exaggeration. Sometimes he will erupt into anger for no reason or derail activities with an intense determination to do something that is completely nonsensical and impracticable at the time. He spends a lot of time asking for input on his unrelated work while on set.

Don't get mixed up with Daniel Arsenault. He is annoying, sociopathic, unbalanced, vindictive about imagined slights, and will spend 90% of your time babbling about nonsense, 10% of your time attempting to produce photographs.

When men don't know what's wrong with the guy and they caution you and they can't describe why - GET OUT!

Zero degrees of empathy means you have no awareness of how you come across to others, how to interact with others, or how to anticipate their feelings or reactions. It leaves you feeling mystified by why relationships don't work out, and it creates a deep-seated self-centredness.

Other people's thoughts and feelings are just off your radar.

It leaves you doomed to do your own thing, in your own little bubble, not just oblivious of other people's feelings and thoughts but oblivious to the idea that there might even be other points of view. The consequence is that you believe 100% in the rightness of your own ideas and beliefs, and judge anyone who does not hold your beliefs as wrong, or ***.

Wow!! Hopefully everyone can read through the angry and insane lies of a jilted ex-lover (sarah).

I have known Dan for eight years and consider him one of my closest friends. I am connected to Dan and his entire family and can tell you that he is not at all what (sarah) represents in her hateful email. I have hired Dan to photograph and help brand our business in Park City and found his work to be on a superior and professional level.

It is unfortunate that anyone can go on the internet and write disparaging comments and damage an individuals livelyhood. I respect Dan's work and will always consider Dan a close and personal friend.

Dano and I talked about EVERY subject there is, but when I mentioned anything about meeting girls his past experiences with women shows. Maybe when I said stuff like did you fall in love I did not say it in a negative way as it seems.Now I understand differently, he has been so burned.I was VERY relaxed, so no worries on my end so chill. Be happy with whatever or who ever you are doing or you are with.

All I ever wanted.
