So, I have done a few Internet searches about this.
I searched for: Ben Shales gq sales
Results: Nothing showing Ben Shales in GQ Sales.
I searched for: Ben Shales gq
Results: Nothing showing Ben Shales at GQ
Have you found anything authoritative that shows Ben Shales at GQ?
Also, there is a separate company, Conde Nast, that handles all permissions for the use of copyrighted photos from GQ. It is apparently not handled by anyone at GQ.
Do you have any information that contradicts that?
Have you ever gotten a good answer to this?
I’ve seen people reply, but they all have seemed to miss the point.
