Are your pictures being stolen? - 07-30-2009, 11:12 AM


I just saw this on another board that I posted on. Pictures, especially wedding pictures are being stolen, watermarked or not. This person is posting them on his/her website as their own. I don't post here often, but I just wanted to make everyone aware so you can check and make sure your images aren't being stolen. I'm not sure if I'm allowed to post the link here, but if I'm not, I'm sorry and you can delete this post.

Here's the website of the "photographer"
http://www.bryantkingphotography.com/#/home/

And more images on his facebook.

How can you tell that those are being stolen? Not that I don't believe you, but all of the images on his site seem to have the same look/ feel to them......

merock added 1 Minutes and 25 Seconds later...Double Post Merged Below

ohhhhhhhh... nevermind... I posted the above before the screen captures got added...

Most of the pictures were Jasmine Star's. She was notified by multiple people this morning.
