The newest addition to the list is Martina McMayo who seems to have found “inspiration” from just about everyone and for everything from her logo to bio to image work.

The main website, notice the logo and image?

The logo is heavily inspired by Jerry Ghionis.

The first image is by Viktoria Novak.

The next sourceable image.

This is originally Jim Garner’s original work.

Next page is the bio.

This is heavily plagiarized from Jerry Ghionis.

The next image on their bio page:

Also is originally by Jerry Ghionis. The awards that Dream Wedding Productions/Martina McMayo claims to have won were also actually won by Jerry in those years.

Where do I begin?

Back in June, it was discovered that Doug Gordon, yes, THAT Doug Gordon, had numerous posts on his workshop blog page that were not his original works. Around 10 or so blogs were “outed” as not his own and they were quietly taken down before anyone thought to screen capture the proof. Continue reading Doug Gordon in Lindenhurst, New York →

One of the things I see time and time again is that new photographers tend to think nothing of putting up photos they aspire to take “someday” on their new website or Facebook Page. Sometimes they actually clarify they aren’t theirs but usually they don’t.

It’s always extra amusing when they lie like a rug in their about page. This photographer, who picked up a camera for the FIRST time in 2011, managed to photograph for Victoria’s Secret, Seventeen Magazine and Jimmy Choo that same year – while also winning dozens of awards if you believe his About page.

PS: Don’t forget we have a Facebook Fan Page which sometimes has some bonus content!

Let’s start with the profile picture.

Original image was taken by Sean Molin, seen here on Digital Photography School.

The cover image is also not his, at least he tells you this but ONLY if you click on the picture. Otherwise you are lead to believe when opening his page that these images are both his. Still shady.
