Supernova Photography by Sabrina committed the fault that so many thieves do, they used work on their site that was a HUGE departure from their typical work. It never fails to catch someone’s attention to follow up on. Some of the work on the site is hers, but not all and it’s fairly easy to spot the differences.

Oh and PS? She has a passion for photography! Of COURSE she does. Too bad she stole that profession of passion from Robert Wegenek.

PPS: If you like Photo Stealers make sure to become a fan on Facebook.

Her homepage.

One of the portrait galleries.

Her wedding gallery. See something that catches your eye?

Me too. Let’s investigate.

Not sure if it’s a stock or just plastered all over the web, I can’t find the original source.

Let’s keep going!

Yep, another stock-ish image.

The next image.

This isn’t a stock image but actually an image stolen from Elite Photo, which was featured recently on Rustic Wedding Chic. Insert here a rant about wedding blogs not allowing watermarked images.

Next image on Supernova.

This image is originally from Deidre Lynn Photography, seen featured here on Green Wedding Shoes. The rant above about the lack of watermarking on wedding blogs? It applies here too.

The next image on Supernova.

This image is by Rylee Hitchner seen here on Amy Osaba’s blog and also featured on Once Wed. Another rant about lack of watermarking on wedding blogs? You betcha!

Next!

Rings! Yep, they’re stock..ish.

Next.

Yep, another stock image of some sort.

Next.

This image is by A Bryan Photo and the image is taken from the feature here on Snippet and Ink. That rant about lack of watermarking? Keep it keepin’ on and add a few choice swear words into the mix.

Next.

It’s another stock image.

Whew. That’s all the weddings! Hmm, notice anything? Yeah, NONE of these images were taken by this photographer.

I had a sneaking suspicion that her boudoir gallery would have more stolen works in it. I’m not even even going to bother with the stock images. Just trust that if I’m listing the source it’s stolen and if not, it’s stock for this gallery as well.

First image.

This image is from Fine Boudoir Photography.

Next.

This image is by Fidelio Photography seen here on their blog, notice the cropping to remove the watermarking that was done.

Next.

This image is by Haute Shots. Again, notice the cropping.

Next.

The image is by Susan Pacek Photography, no longer listed on her site but I have a copy with her watermark from an old feature online. Again notice the cropping.

Next.

This image is by Choco Studio.

Next.

Another image from Fine Boudoir.

Next.

This image is by Waltzer Photography.

Next.

This image is by Alecia Hoyt.

Ok I’m getting hungry and I’m over this so here’s her pet portfolio. Judge at will.

Promotions & Contest page.

Image is also seen on her Craigslist ad.

Image is from Southern Charm Portraits.

Her Facebook page & gallery. What is wrong with this picture?

It appears that she’s used Deidre Lynn’s image (seen above from her gallery) as a profile pic at some point in time.

Update 12:01AM:

Sabrina has taken the galleries down that were outed here and her Facebook page has been hidden or deleted.

This one was sent into me via the message feature. From how his site and Faceboook read, I am guessing that he is a hobbyist that is trying to break into different fields of photography by using other photographers works to represent his own and create ads. I know I’ve said this but I’ll say it again, DO NOT DO THIS.

*****UPDATE 3/26 Below*****

We will start with his webage.

The first image in the slideshow is an ad for his wedding photography.

This image is from esh photgraphy in Canberra.

The second image in the slideshow is an ad for boudoir.

The image on the far left belongs to SF Connected Photography. I cannot find the sources to the other two but I wouldn’t be surprised to find out they are stolen as well.

The third image in the slideshow is an ad for senior photography.

The third image appears to be from a stock site, it is seen on many foreign language websites, this one is just one of the many where this image appears.

The fourth image just made me laugh. I somehow highly doubt that Blake Lively went to some random photographer for her senior portraits in Illinois. This image is everywhere and impossible to find the original source to (well it could be possible but I don’t have that kind of time). This site is one of the many, many sites this image appears on.

The second page of galleries (I couldn’t find sources for the first page).

The entrance image to the boudoir section is an image from honeybourne intimates that seems to be everywhere without credit.

Now onto Facebook.

I’m quickly finding that the images that he has stolen are awfully pixelated.

This image is from Model Mayhem but I cannot find the original source.

This is the next image from Facebook.

This image is from Hollye Schumacher and appears to be from the Junebug Weddings site. This is a prime example of why photographers are hesitant anymore to allow bridal blogs to use their works without any kind of watermark, thieves like this one can just lift it easily. He’s also using this image on his Model Mayhem portfolio.

We get to skip down a few to this next image in his gallery that seems just a bit too good to be true.

This image is from Tim Hamilton.

The next sunset image on Joshua’s Facebook.

This image is from Joep R.

I’m sure that more on his Facebook and website is stolen but I’m not finding sources, partially I am sure due to his watermarking he has added onto the images.

UPDATE 3/26:

This guy is still heavily using images that are either stock (legally purchased or not, it is still against TOS to display as your own work) or taken from another photographer.

The new gallery page.

New wedding gallery.

The original image is from The Way We Click Photography, here seen on ISPWP (winning #13).

The next image in the slideshow.

It is a stock image of a wedding dress, found online in numerous places.

Another image in the slideshow.

Another stock-type image with numerous sources on the internet.

Surprise, another stock image that apparently other photographers are also using…

Notice his watermark in the corner? Nice touch!

He had to crop the image to get the original watermark out from Dani Dunca Photography.

The next in the gallery… in which we are yet to find a SINGLE image that is his.

Another stock image!

Another…

Stock!

Another…

Stock again!

Another…

Stock again!

Thief: Los Angeles Boudoir Photography
Link: http://www.losangelesboudoirphotography.com/

This thief was sent to me today by a photographer that I greatly admire because he had stolen her work. Apparently he is using the images on his site, as well as in a marketing email to brides in the LA Area.

The image on his Boudoir Photography page.

It is in fact stolen from iSnap Studio.

Another image from his website.

This image is apparently a stock image as it is virtually everywhere and I am unable to source the original photographer.

The slideshow on his main page is rife with stolen images.

This image was taken by Fidelio Photography.

Another image from the slideshow.

The stolen images on Cheatwood Photo’s blog.

Another image in the slideshow.

The original photo is a cropped version of Raw Photo Design’s original image.

Many more of the photos in the slideshow are stolen I suspect (or all of them) but they either have way too many sources to even begin to guess or I can’t find the original source.

This wall of shame is dedicated to photographers that feel that it's okay to steal others' work and post it as their own. Oh I'm sorry, it's okay to let their "web designer" do it.
