Stolen pics used in Groupon deal....

Ok, this is very serious not funny.......but it is sort of funny. The fact that Groupon (which is quite popular) would think a professional photographer could do 1100 on site shoots in a year is ridiculous!

Wow! Haha, thanks for the post.

I did notice that it had to be within 1 hour of Atlanta. If so (excuse the ignorance) I don't see how the claim of doing 1100 shoots would be impossible. Especially if one had help. Its only a 1 hour photo shoot. Anyone tried the math? Totally possible.

As for stealing photos.....tisk tisk.....very silly.

Thanks again, very enjoyable.

That's ridiculous!! Thank you for sharing - people are really pathetic. I mean, I just don't understand stealing other people's photos. If she has the talent to take professional portraits, and is only lacking models, then she could just use friends or family as models. Use those for her portfolio until she can build a bigger client base. Stealing other photographer's portraits just shows that she did not have the ability or skill to be posting a professional offer to begin with.
