I got hit with a flurry of messages about this fauxtographer so I am guessing they got caught somewhere online. The Facebook Page was wiped between me getting the messages and when I could start the post but the website is still predominantly images that were not created by Seraphina Visuals.
There is a TON of stock images used here, often from the same wedding so to save time I’m only going to post the original source for the first of the group on those.
I think *some* (not all) of these images were placeholders with the Pixieset template they are using. It’s often done and it’s gross. There’s so many other photographers that popped up when searching those images that are using the same placeholder images on their live website. Stop that crap right now.
I think this is also one of the first photographers to use AI images in their portfolio pretending they were real photos. Wait, no. I forgot about Meg. Well, anyway, it’s the first one I’ve come across that is just a regular photographer not selling products TO photographers anyway.
Finally, to kind of go for the full BINGO card here they also have plagiarism.

The entire wedding gallery is stock
The whole engagement gallery appears on other photographers websites so I’m guessing this is also just placeholder images that they didn’t replace.
The Fashion / Models is another all stock/template images.

While the Facebook was wiped clean I was able to find some tagged ads to source.
Instagram:
Either this was wiped too or it’s mostly unused. This quad is all stock images.
