I do not condone bashing others work as we all started somewhere.  However, I will say this: the work that Amanda is presenting as her own is a vast departure from the images she has taken.  THIS is why I do what I do, if someone books her based on these beautiful images they will be in for a disappointment.

I was sent this photographer about a week ago but had to sit on it so I could edit a wedding since my actual paying gig has to take precedence.  For those cocking your head and wondering what these ads mean then if I say this doesn’t pay me… well ads bring me at most $30 a month.

SO I have started a Patreon.  I’m not sure what will come of it but it’s there if you want to support me and keep your ad block on.  Even if you can’t support at this time a share of it would be fantabulous!

Update 9/15/2018:  She took all of the images down from her Facebook that were posted here.  She replaced them with images that were also stolen.  When it was pointed out those were stolen she replaced them again with more stolen images.  Finally it appears since she can’t figure out how to use her own images she took her website and Facebook down.

I’ve been told that this photographer has been schooled many times about why you can’t and shouldn’t use photos to promote your work that isn’t your own yet here we are.  Sigh.  She claims for some of these images she’s just showing the gowns that can be used but in the model calls that’s not very transparent so here we are.

There are a lot of images that I can’t source due to there not being a source and/or the watermark being so pixelated it’s impossible to read.

In site related news, I’ve started a Patreon to support the running of this site.

Update 8/21/18: She posted a few times in the comments of the Facebook Post stating she had permission but the admin of the page the bulk of the images came from said she did not.  Furthermore she’d been told in July to stop using the images but continued to do so.

Gopika Karol Photography in Chelmsford, Massachusetts

I realize this isn’t many images (8 in total) but she’s not only advertising with these images but also placed her watermark on top of them.  Not to mention the fake stories about the session that didn’t happen…

In site related news, I’ve started a Patreon to support the running of this site.

Update 8/19/18: Gopika has removed her Facebook page and blamed a hired assistant.

He has removed his Facebook page but somehow hasn’t managed to remove the stolen images from the website.  Of course, that nefarious “website designer” is being blamed.

Update @ 5:55PM EST

He’s changed all of the images on the landing page to stock images.  Still misrepresenting his own work…

C Johnston Photography in Leeds, UK

Have you read the New York Post or Daily Mail articles about the wedding photographer that showed up to a wedding late, spent some time in the photo booth and then only delivered 15 images from the reception?  Surprise!  She also has stolen images in her gallery.

Her new website and Facebook are currently down but her old website is still live.
