Sara-Anne Photography

This photographer is a mentor and leads workshops.  She teaches a class called “Behind the Lens” to photographers.  Part of this $600 course Sara-Anne teaches includes a workbook in PDF form that she has handed out to her students.

I am only showing here what sources were used in the workbook from the internet.  A vast majority of the workbook was plagiarized from another photographer’s ebook and it isn’t right to put it out there for free.  Out of respect for the photographer I am asking you all to trust me on the source.  Thank you!

Onto the 92 page PDF that I’ve spent the past month sourcing!  Today alone it’s been about 6 hours because I wanted this done.  I think a cocktail may be in order this evening.  She has also stolen images, those are below the PDF.

PS: Thank you for your donations, it was fun to be able to use them to pay for Copyscape for this case!

Update 01/31/2014 @ 1:16PM

Sara-Anne has taken down her Facebook Pages and her website.  She now has this on her website:

It has also came to light that in 2012 Sara-Anne won a contest for a year rent-free in a space in Downtown Burlington which she opened a year ago.  The contest also included $3000 in marketing and $15,000 in upgrade funds.  While it may not have much to do with this case, I still thought it was an interesting side note to this whole story.

Yesterday with all of the pages and pages and hours and hours I spent I didn’t get a chance to source images because I didn’t have time to honestly.  No one said anything about her stealing images so I didn’t even search because I was burned out after that whole mess.  Luckily someone else had the smarts to start looking and found that Sara-Anne also had images that weren’t hers along with the plagiarized text.
