The website he's supposedly taking photos for seems to be a website started in 2013 and done by one guy named Charlie. I don't see an address (which I think is needed for a registered business), or a list of staff, reporters, editors, circulation dept., etc. - nobody, except one woman's name who according to the site is a single mom writing for the site.
Where are this so-called photo journalist's pictures? I didn't find any photo credits with his name on the site, all I saw were what look like stock photos or poor quality cell phone (or at best p&s) pictures.
I took a look at the site's privacy and legal info. - looks like if you sign up to use the site your information may be sold, etc., so I suppose that might be why they want attention from an incident like this, to help them get more people to follow them.
