What started as a boudoir photographer that was stealing images for ads and their gallery (which is oddly hosted on Pinterest) turned into a photographer duo that is an entire new chapter to Photo Stealers.
When caught, the response is not Fuck You. That just gets back to me which means that I need to dig more.
I also am highly amused by the Phoopla tagline, “Fighting the good fight against snobby, overcharging, under-delivering ‘professional’ photographers and designers” and define phoopla as “that feeling when you finally find a photographer that you can truly trust.” I can’t make this shit up.
Update @ 8:15PM EST: I’ve added a bit more to the post as the Phoopla owners are claiming not to be affiliated with It’s Fun to Flirt which is just silly since it was ON PHOOPLA’S FACEBOOK PAGE.
Website:
There honestly isn’t a lot on their website but the scrolling images at the top. Two I found sources for, I wouldn’t be surprised to find out the other images have original sources as well.
About Page since they are claiming they aren’t affiliated with Phoopla. They have changed it since this post went live taking off the link to Phoopla but it’s the same people’s names (Sarah and Jordan) and the same images appear for both.
Book (note the email to book is phooplaphoto@gmail.com)
FAQ Page (note the answer about the gallery, this further supports that they were trying to claim the Pinterest Gallery is THEIR work)
A couple of their FAQ’s are lifted from other sources as well. Note that a bit more than is highlighted is copied but it’s better than nothing. In the lightbox gallery you can see these examples larger.
Also, while we are at it here’s the whois info for It’s Fun to Flirt, linking back, AGAIN, to Phoopla.
Facebook:
Again, not a lot here but still images that should not be on this page.
Original source of the third image unknown
Pinterest:
The self-loaded images, the verbage beneath the pin, the website leading you here for their gallery in both the “Gallery” section AND the FAQ and the link back to the site all lead you to believe these images are theirs. Many are not. This is such a clusterf**k. I apologize. Trying to show sources in the cleanest way possible here.
Ok I’m moving on but I think my point is made?
Phoopla Facebook:
To be fair it appears that their web and Facebook is made up mostly of their own images save for the Flirt ads and cover image.
Original source unknown
