Another Bull$hit Photog using Groupon with stolen Images

[Rson]

Check this out.....

Noell Strahan Photography Studio & Salon Deal of the Day | Groupon Dallas


Her "Boduior" Sessions are lifted from a few other photogs some on here too.

Opie
Ed Verosky
and a few others.

Those affected need to take screen shots right now.

Searching her site right now. I really hope she stole a few pics from me. Those 1DX bodies are gonna be expensive.

we should take bets on this ends. my guess is the same as last time...

Everyone emails and calls the photog to let them know how bad of a person they are. Photog joins up, writes some post justifying their actions, gets the cardinal involved and we all end up getting a lecture about how unprofessional we are b/c the other person stole people's work. funny how we end up like the kindergartener class in time out with the lights out.

oh, and the thread will be locked.

anyone else see another scenario?

Not sure about all that......but my guess is this photog will blame the "website designer" for putting the wrong images up.

[Howard Barlow]

You mean he was supposed to steal some other images? :-)

LOL.....All I know is blaming the web guy is always the default excuse for these kind of thieves.

My tea leaves are broken but my guess would be as long as it doesn't turn into a mob we should be OK.
But I could be wrong...

The site says the images are copyright protected. It doesn't say whose copyright. :p

I don't understand why a pro would do this. Do they justify that they could have taken such a shot, that is what they aspire to, or it looks good - who will know.

[RKDauph]

I was wrong - it's still there.

The "Boduior" section has been removed.

Ed Verosky was contacted, he posted her info all around.

8 or 9 comments about her conduct- no reply from her.

I'm loving all the comments people have posted on her two FB pages. Still no comment from her though. I can only imagine what her friends and followers are thinking right now. She really shot herself in the foot. It's almost painful to watch this unfold.

I still can't get over the fact that she left the watermarks on the groupon. At first I thought someone was doing this to her to set her up. But then I saw that she has posted about the Groupon on her FB.

[Tom]

It looks like she did take the boudoir pics off her website and FB page. Too little, too late.

I don't think this one will get the legs that Dana Dawes Photography in Atlanta got. That was featured in the Huffington Post, Petapixel and many other sites.
