There’s so many Pinterest photos for when she “doesn’t have time” to use her own images for advertisements. I gave up around summer 2022 but there’s a LOT here.

Reminder that I now have a Substack!

This is a makeup artist and photographer duo.  The photographer worked for the source photographer years ago as a contracted employee.  As such, these images are copyright to the company that she worked for.   However she hasn’t taken them down despite the requests from the company.

The clients requested the original photographer remove the images from the destination wedding so they sent over their RAW files and contract with the makeup artist to prove the images are theirs so that’s why the source image is thumbnails.

There is a TON more but I’m hungry and my husband just brought me nachos.  Nachos ALWAYS win over thieves.   Continue reading Set Sail Bridal in Toronto, Ontario, Canada

Another day, another idiot photographer using stolen images to advertise for cheap mini sessions.

Update 11/30/2023: As I was writing my latest Substack newsletter an email came in tipping me off that Amanda is still up to her same shit. She’s changed her editing style, somehow amassed a decent following on Instagram and is now selling to photographers. You’d think from an innocent glance at her instagram that she’s living clean and learned from her mistakes…

Except now she’s using stolen photos to advertise to photographers for various retreats. On some she does say (beneath the cut or deceptively hidden of course) they are inspo but not all. She did not receive permission to use the images from the photographers that I’ve heard back from so far.

Note: this isn’t even the second time she’s done this. When I outed her in 2019 I got a hefty amount of messages that she’d done this numerous times before.

White Linen Photography in Kelowna, British Columbia, Canada

This one actually pisses me off.  The photographer has some talent but for whatever reason has decided to beef up her portfolio with photos that she admired online.  Sometimes she credits the vendor, sometimes Pinterest and rarely she credits the original photographer.

Either way, if you have a Facebook or Instagram photography page no images that you didn’t take should be on there.  If I didn’t know any better I would assume these images are hers, as will clients.  As is seen in comments, many thought they were her images.

As you’ll see below the vast majority of the images she’s stolen are detail images.

I gave up and decided to post about a third of the way through the 1200+ images she has online.  I may go back to it after dinner… and some prosecco.

Update 2/26/19 @ 9PM EST: Added more images
