Hi everyone,
just a warning to all wildlife photographers…on Deviant Art there is a person there, a woman I believe, who has stolen an image of mine (Beady Eye – an image of a leopard from Redbubble) and a few other photographers work as well. There are many big cat shots there as well as birds, wild dog etc which may also not be hers. She has been reported. I hope she is not on this site as well.
Website address is:- http://shadowsofcats.deviantart.com/
I don’t understand what possible pleasure a person can gain from claiming credit for work that isn’t theirs.

And I can’t understand why DA hasn’t shut her down already!

That person’s entire Gallery has now been removed from Deviant Art by Deviant Art. I daresay his/her account is about to go the same way. There were a number of people reporting it to DA and he/she has received several comments on his/her profile naming and shaming.

Yes, I see this morning that her images are all gone, but the profile remains. I’m surprised however, she wasn’t completely removed immediately. Taking other people’s work is the lowest of the low.

I agree Sharon! Her profile should be removed completely. You have every right to feel upset and angry. Good on you for letting us all know and reminding us we need to be careful.
