What started as a boudoir photographer that was stealing images for ads and their gallery (which is oddly hosted on Pinterest) turned into a photographer duo that is an entire new chapter to Photo Stealers.

When caught, the response is not Fuck You. That just gets back to me which means that I need to dig more.

I also am highly amused by the Phoopla tagline, “Fighting the good fight against snobby, overcharging, under-delivering ‘professional’ photographers and designers” and define phoopla as “that feeling when you finally find a photographer that you can truly trust.” I can’t make this shit up.

Update @ 8:15PM EST:  I’ve added a bit more to the post as the Phoopla owners are claiming not to be affiliated with It’s Fun to Flirt which is just silly since it was ON PHOOPLA’S FACEBOOK PAGE.

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.

image

One of the portrait galleries.

image

Her wedding gallery.  See something that catches your eye?

image

Me too.  Let’s investigate.

image

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

image

Let’s keep going!

image

Yep, another stock-ish image.

image

The next image.

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.  

image

Next image on Supernova.

image

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.  

image

The next image on Supernova.

image

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!

image

Next!

image

Rings!  Yep, they’re stock..ish.

image

Next.

image

Yep, another stock image of some sort.

image

Next.

image

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.

image

Next.

image

It’s another stock image.

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. 

image

First image.

This image is from Fine Boudoir Photography

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

image

Next.

image

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

image

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.

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

image

Promotions & Contest page.

image

Image is also seen on her Craigslist ad.

image

Image is from Southern Charm Portraits

image

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

image

image

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.
