This caught a fan’s eye and they submitted the website to me and sure enough, it was chock full of stolen images.  The Facebook isn’t as bad but the ads for sessions have some stolen images as well.

The excuses are starting.

Jen has made some comments (below) and you’re free to read them.  The website is up along with the Facebook still.  She claims to have removed “everything” but some images remain and a couple I missed on the first pass I’m adding to the post.

 

Update 03/24/2014 @ 8:00AM

She made a new page for her photography business the same day she was outed here.  It’s above.

Guess they don’t have the luck of the Irish today.

This photographer has been contacted about their stolen images but chose to ignore the requests to take the images down.  Ironically this photographer duo just went to WPPI “to get better”.

Update 03/18/2014 @ 1:00AM

I didn’t get a chance to source the text earlier when finding the links and posting the image sources but am going back through what remains live and sourcing the text.  There is a lot of plagiarism, including their About Us page on their website (at this time, still is there).  There’s also at least one two reviews that has been plagiarized.

Update 03/18/2014 @ 11:30AM

Found a few more links, more plagiarism on their website and PDF’d some of their blogs.

Update 03/18/2014 @ 12:00PM

Found an ad they published in The Bump with stolen images.

Update 03/18/2014 @6:00PM

Updated with a few more websites they are located on, another stolen image from Google +.

Update 03/31/2014 @ 5:00PM

They’ve rebranded.  Links updated.

Update 06/12/2014

They’ve rebranded for the millionth time.  I updated the links and deleted all of the dead ones.

It’s amazing how many photographers pimp their portfolio on Facebook then get busted because of stolen images.  This is #2 for today that got busted this way.  This photographer has been posting her ad all over the internet and Facebook trying to drum up business.  There’s a TON of images here so grab your drink of choice and start scrolling.

Again, click an ad on your way out to keep Photo Stealers going.  Thanks!

Update 04/25/2014

Angel is back with a new name and more stolen photos.  Some people never learn or respect the art of photography.   The images are at the end of the post.

Update 09/30/2014

Angel is back under a new name of “Life’s Magical Moments Photography” and is still stealing images and putting her own watermark on said images.  Sources below.

Wix sites are the devil.  I don’t care what their TOS is, you shouldn’t be using their preloaded imagery if you are a photographer.  You especially shouldn’t be taking that template imagery and using it on other pages to sell yourself as a photographer.  When you come across one of the few images that Kym actually took it’s almost laughable because the difference in quality is impressive. 

There is a TON I didn’t source because it takes time and I get paid very little to run this site (the ads are here to help pay for the hosting).  I run on donations  and this is time consuming!  So, I apologize for not sourcing every image… but there is more out there if you are bored and want to source feel free to send it to me.  Also, if you want to support this site, hit an ad on the way out and help pay for this sucker to be run.   TY!

This fauxtographer left some watermarks intact but that doesn’t mean anything in the end really, just less of a fine if the original photographer would choose to sue.   You are still using someone elses work to represent your own.  I was late to this one so there was some cleaning up that happened before I started, I apologize.  Continue reading Trunks Photography →
