Boy, this one is a doozie.

This ad captured someone’s attention and from there, the rest is history.   PS – I bet she doesn’t have a permit to use New Orleans City Park for photo sessions.

Baby Uncle Sam is originally by Amber Sue Photography.

image

The little boy with the flag is originally by Carolyn Ann Ryan.

image

The little girl in the headband is by Christina Houser.

What has been the most eye opening part of all of this is the way that the owner of Images by Eire Photography has reacted to the outing.

Also, watermarked or not, it’s still illegal to steal someone else’s intellectual property.  As a photographer, the moment the shutter is clicked, you own the copyright of the image.

Here’s her admitting that while she did use the image, it’s not stealing, that’s totally a different thing.

So after her comments (there are more but I’m stopping before she starts dropping the f bombs, you can read the whole crazy thread here).  Some members decided to peruse her gallery and shock! There are more stolen images on her page.

Most of the photographers have NOT been contacted by Rachel as of 6/9/13.

Can’t find the original source but appears to be a before/after from acne medicine NOT Photoshop.

image

Another before and after.

image

These images are by my friend Jenna Cole whom runs the That Wife blog and are of her son.  What’s creepy is that Jenna did not do the editing on the after… eep.

image

Another before and after.

image

Again, it appears to be from acne ads.

image

This image was posted but Eire removed as soon as this one was posted.  Good thing for screen captures!

image

This image is originally from Twin Bridges Photography.

So after the research my friends did for me, I decided to do some digging on my own.

Let’s start here.

image

I can’t find the original source but it is NOT Eire.

Another ad, another stolen image.  Also seen here on her Pinterest.

Can’t find the original source.
