So many swear words came out of my mouth when working on this post.  I’ve had to do a few stretches and take a few breaks from all the digging to do what I can to find the original sources.

I don’t know what is so hard for photographers to grasp but you DO NOT USE OTHER PEOPLE’S WORK TO ADVERTISE FOR SESSIONS.  EVER.

There’s a ton more but I’ve got a headache and my neck is numb so I’m raising the white flag.

I’ve been told I should add this link to all of my posts so if you want to kick me a dollar to help keep this site running (really it just goes to my lawyer lol) click here.  If you want to support this site through Patreon and get early access to blog posts and more click here.

Apparently Xavier thinks he could pass as Jerry Ghionis.  *raises eyebrow*

His instagram is full of suspicious images but the majority aren’t coming up on google, likely from Instagram directly which isn’t often indexed on Google.  Peruse his feed to make sure your image isn’t one he stole.

It’s been a while since we’ve had a photographer that doesn’t show any of their own work appear.  There’s a couple images that MAY be theirs but you’ll be hard pressed to find them in the sea of stolen images.

This photographer duo ran an ad with a stolen image that caught the attention of another photographer who decided to dig into it further.  It was sent to me and low and behold, nothing on this new photographer’s page appears to be their own original work

This photographer even had the gall to post images that they stole to Pinterest as their own original content.

I’ve spent over 4 hours on this post and I’m calling it quits for now.  Keep in mind there’s still 4 more full galleries of stolen images so make sure to peruse the galleries and let me know if you see an image that you recognize or that is your own.

With this photographer there was a concentrated effort to crop out and sticker over existing watermarks.  No.  Just NO.

If you don’t have photos of your own setup, don’t go trolling for them on Pinterest/Google/Facebook.  Take your camera, take your props you intend to use, set it all up and take a photo.  It’s not really that difficult.

Be better.  Do. better.  Stop Stealing. 
(I think I may make this my new tagline)

Allegedly this photographer has been a repeat offender for some time.  She posts a photo from Pinterest, gets a smackdown from the original photographer, deletes and then does it again later on with a new photo.

Some are still live, some are from the screenshots I’ve been getting for over a YEAR of her use of stolen images from various photographers who have been calling her out.

She’s sent her friends after me to defend her honor so I dug more.

More fighting from her white knights = more digging and SURPRISE, she’s a plagiarist too.
