I see this time and time again… a photographer using someone else’s images in a genre they are looking to expand into. Here we have a photographer who is looking to get into weddings and posted a few images from weddings she claims to have photographed in Florida. She didn’t.
This submission was sent to me last night but since I was in the process of moving over to the new domain I wasn’t able to make an entry. The website is still up today and the transfer is complete so here we are!
This has been a really busy week here between the posts and the big move to stopstealingphotos.com. All of the images on the website are stock but I’m going to post it all here because the disclaimer on the about page is hilarious. I’m not listing the proof of the stock images because quite frankly I’m a bit burned out from this week but I’ve been flooded with people about this girl so I’m listing her here since some of the Craigslist pictures are not stock. I am thinking some of the collage images aren’t either but again, bit burned out.
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!
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.
This wall of shame is dedicated to photographers that feel that it's okay to steal others' work and post it as their own. Oh I'm sorry, it's okay to let their "web designer" do it.
