I started this on Friday and due to lack of time I wasn’t able to fully source but I am able to finish up now thanks to feeling a tinge under the weather.

Katelyn has apologized in the comments but of course I’m finding more and more locations where these images are still advertising her site.  These three employees she’s claiming did this sure had a lot of reach!

Here’s her excuse:

Sara-Anne Photography

56 Comments

This photographer is a mentor and leads workshops.  She teaches a class called “Behind the Lens” to photographers.  Part of this $600 course Sara-Anne teaches includes a workbook in PDF form that she has handed out to her students.

I am only showing here what sources were used in the workbook from the internet.  A vast majority of the workbook was plagiarized from another photographer’s ebook and it isn’t right to put it out there for free.  Out of respect for the photographer I am asking you all to trust me on the source.  Thank you!

Onto the 92 page PDF that I’ve spent the past month sourcing!  Today alone it’s been about 6 hours because I wanted this done.  I think a cocktail may be in order this evening.  She has also stolen images, those are below the PDF.

PS: Thank you for your donations, it was fun to be able to use them to pay for Copyscape for this case!   Continue reading Sara-Anne Photography →

Poise’N Art Photography aka Portrait Perfection

This photographer popped when I was researching Making Memories as they were both using the same photo that was not theirs.  Sigh.

Update 03/20/2014

This photographer group is still going strong and still using a lot of the same stolen images as before.  No lessons learned apparently.

Awwww it’s a thief that takes me back to my roots, well almost.  My first foray into this “field” so to speak was with a girl named Dana Dawes who stole a bunch of photos for her Groupon ad.  The news even got involved with the story and when they showed her in her studio, the stolen images were even displayed there.   This new thief came to me via the same starting point – someone saw their Amazon Ad (the image used in the ad appears to be theirs) and clicked on their website and discovered a gallery of images that are not theirs.

A photographer earlier today had his images removed but Reaction Photography aka Carmen Ridenoure took only their images down, not all of the stolen ones.  Of course a new “assistant” was blamed.  Interesting that the images that are not Reaction’s original works are the ones featured in ads and the first ones in the slideshows online.

PS:  Let this be a lesson to future brides, this company won “The Best of The Knot” award for 2013 AND 2014.  That award doesn’t mean much.  Continue reading Reaction Photography →

Moving on from the CJ Photography debacle (FYI he’s back and stronger than ever and is kicking rocks still or something).

Vincent and Tyler Tree apparently run this business which is photography, cinematography and DJ services.  They don’t appear to have a Facebook Page nor much of an online presence so I don’t know if this is just a business that doesn’t get any business or they are just flying under the radar but regardless, their portfolio is made up of stolen images.
