It is or It is not (plagiarism)
This is probably one of the worst nightmare that can happen to an editor, someone reporting that one of your covered artist may be a fraud. This is worst than navigating a perilous sea. Worst than breaking into personal perceptions instead of objectivity. Worst that can happen to someone’s reputation. Threading with circumspection and for the sake of justice or at least wanting to offer room for debate, shown are samples of the so called copycats.
Make sure to read first this post and review the samples provided here and state what you think in the comments.
So in your view, is it or not plagiarism?

Yes it is. As a photographer and also a newly BJD collector, I’m saddened that her work is even getting profit when it is in fact not hers.
Using other peoples photography as inspirtaion is obviously a common thing but tracing and basically copying their work is another. She would be livid if anyone did the same to her, which has already come up as one of her images has been seen on a t-shirt, which adds even more pressure to the original photographer.
Her work is gaining fans, money and fame where honest hard working people who actually have an imagination and put their body and soul into their work is being ignored and over shadowed. Hope she gets what she deserves!
