This all stems from a website stopstealingphotos.com created by Corey Ann Doyle Balazowich from North Canton, Ohio that appears that have good intentions, but in fact, it's just the opposite. It now has almost 13,000 followers and growing everyday because of the drama created by the MODS and regular commenter's. Corey Ann Doyle Balazowich also has a Facebook page called Photo Stealers. It all begins with someone turning in a photographer or other service which uses photos whether for business purposes or otherwise because they claim the photos are not theirs. Some is correct, while a lot is under assumption. However, the intellectual property in question isn't theirs and most of the copyrighted owners don't want to be involved with this site due to it's mob mentality. Corey Ann Doyle Balazowich or one of her MODS will then post the name of the business and person accused along with any and all links to those business's or persons. Included in this post is a list of demands which also suggest you pay restitution. Immediately after the post goes live, a vast mount of followers begin attacking the accused. Their attacks are vulgar, threatening, and include attacks on family, clients, and even children. They deny their attacks then they will post Craigslist ads negatively about your business(es). They begin to post your personal info such as address, phone numbers, alias, then try and make you the #1 search on GOOGLE as a thief, fraud, and extortionist. They admit that this will never end and they will continue to stalk you because these people have nothing better to do. It's nothing but an enjoyment to these people who sit behind their keyboards and try to ruin others lives and then twist the stories to make it look like they're the victims!
Since she has aired my fiance, myself, friends, family members and clients on her facebook page Photo Stealers, website Stop Stealing Photos, blog, Twitter, and other numerous Internet sites we all have received threats, have been harassed on a daily basis, stalked, been called derogatory names (douche bag, round boy, white trash, losers, racist, frauds, extortionists) just to name the few that they love to use, aired our personal info (addresses, business/cell phone numbers, personal/business emails, links to all social media sites), personal attacks on my, Stacie's deceased parents, created fake accounts in Stacie's and Bill's name (have screen shots) on Facebook and Tumblr, wrote numerous fake blogs that are based on 90% assumption and lies, and I could go on!
If anyone comes here to rebuttal this and try and defend her nasty behavior along with yours, I will provide all proof on here to counteract what you will provide. What I am saying is 100% correct and NOT a lie. I have to live my life in fear now of getting robbed or killed because of Corey Ann Doyle Balazowich of North Canton Ohio because she thinks this is all a joke and fun to see people do this to others that has done NOTHING to her in the first place! I stole nothing from her, I never knew her, I never used her services, I never contacted her in my life until now! But yet she brought my fiance and myself into this sick twisted game of hers!
In conclusion, she is responsible for her actions along with everyone else that has contacted my fiance, friends, family, clients and myself. If anything happens to any one of these individuals mentioned, again she is going to be held 100% liable! She knows what the outcome is, she lives for it! Pretty sick person eh?
You live in Florida and yet you fear for your life? How about if you didn't steal from hard working photographers? None of this would have happened. No one has contacted you or your family so stop lying.
Booked Corey Ann. Did engagement sessions. She's rude. Not creative. Pictures were bland, while I SPLURGED!
Editing took waaaaay too long. There was no time to re-shoot.
I got swore at multiple times. What gives?
Her character is like she owns the world and the rest of us are all miserable human beings.
And best of all??? She DID NOT show up for our wedding!!!! Are you kidding me? That's a bride's most horrible nightmare. And that was us. She wasn't available to give our deposit back, didn't pick up calls or answer emails.
So we were out 5K. With only pictures from family and friends to rely on.
Be ware of this photog. She seems wonderful online, but you'll regret dealing with her.
The above 1star reviews are a retaliation from outed thieves. Corey Ann does amazing job for the photographic community by exposing thieving individuals and she is a great photographer.
very unprofessional and rude! Wants to defamate other ppl's businesses and publicly try and embarrass them! She is UNLICENSESD is NOT INSURED! Go to sunbiz nothing in her name: Corey Doyle Balazowich! She likes to make fun of other photographers in groups on here: 1)How To Spot A Fake Professional Photographer 2)photostealers How childish is it for a grown women to go on attacking sprees and calling tons of ppl to attack ppl's legal businesses? She goes on these pages to expose everything about ppl. You brought a business into your fit that wasn't in my name and that's called: tortious interference with business: Tortious interference with business expectancy is a business tort that allows two parties to a contract to hold a third person liable if that person interfered with the contract in a way that caused one or both of the parties to suffer damages! Because of your false accusations, you have others involved which will be dealt with as well.
I'd think twice about hiring someone with this kind of mentality to go out of her way to try and destroy others! Also having your friends come onto my business page calling kids ugly, big ears, they look like crap is called bullying! How disgusting! Shame on you and your work ethics!
The review above is retaliation from an outed thief. Corey has earned much respect in the photography industry from countless artists who are interested in keeping their work out of a thief's diabolical hands.
Corey Ann Photography also runs a blog called Photo Stealers/StopStealingPhotos. She recently started a Go Fund Me and has raised over 11K, for legal defenses since she has announced that she is facing more than one pending lawsuit against her for her alleged involvement in online bullying and more. There is nothing wrong with the Go Fund Me, but it is her recent update that she posted on it that is a BOLD FACED LIE.
Here is what she wrote:
"First of all - THANK YOU to all who have donated to the fund. I'm amazed, gobsmacked and speechless by all of the support - monetary, hugs, and/or messages - I have received.
Yesterday the campaign was reported for fraud but it was luckily quickly reapproved and is back up and running.
I have decided to end the donations later today as I have surpassed my goal.
I wanted to clear a few things up here before this comes to a close.
1 - I never have gone 'searching' for photographers that have stolen images in their portfolio.
2 - The majority of the time, the (or one of) photographer stolen from brings a thief to me, asking me for help. Often by this point the thief has told the photographer that asked for their image to be taken down to buzz off (typically in more colorful terms) or ignores the requests for the image/s to be taken down.
3 - If not the original photographer, I reach out to the victim/s and let them know and make sure the photographer in question wasn't a second photographer, assistant and/or associate photographer. Typically this happens when the vast majority of the images are from one photographer and/or one region of photographers.
4 - I clear it with the victims before making a post when possible. Often things are resolved quickly and I don't need to make a post.
5 - If/when I make a post, I try to notify all photographers that were victims that I didn't get a hold of before the post. Often there's dozens of photographers so I don't always get to everyone beforehand.
6 - If the thief has made retribution and the victims all agree, the post is removed.
Hope that helps clear up some questions as far as what is going on behind the scenes at Photo Stealers."
I was "Featured" on this blog for taking photos that were not not mine and wrongly using them as my own. I have since rectified this and made ammends with the original photographers. I am not bitter at all, but I am angered by this untrue statement on her Go Fund Me. It is deceiving.
The problems with the above statement are that they are not true and there is confirmation of the lies throughout the comments on her blog.
Statement #2 - Vary rarely (small percentage) is it the stolen from photographer that goes to her, at least not in the featured posts. It is usually a competing photographer from the same area. This is confirmed in many of the comment sections by various comments. I can also prove this statement as untrue based on the facts I have about who reported me. I was never contacted by an original photographer or anyone from photo stealers before the post on me took place. The original photographers also have all told me they were never contacted, by Corey or anyone else with photo stealers. They were also very upset to see the online slaughter going on, that they never requested.
Statement #3 - I was never contacted prior to the posting and given an opportunity to remove the photos and make ammends. Never!
Statement #4 & 5 - NOBODY was contacted prior to the posting. Not me and not a single one of the original photographers. I have seen photographers comment, after the listing has been up for a few days, very surprised. Some have said Thank You, but the fact that they were surprised shows that they had no idea prior to the post. Almost all that have commented have made a simple comment and have not taken part in the personal attacks and harassment.
Statement #6 - I have made full retribution and yet the post remains. The photographers that I took from told me that they were sorry that I was going through the online attacks. One contacted Corey, asking her to remove the listing, and Corey never responded.
I just felt it necessary to point out the fallacies in what Corey is saying here. I honestly do not believe her regular commenters realize that none of this goes on behind the scenes as she is saying it does. In my case, I woke up one morning (the morning my grandmother died) to an onslaught of attacks on my Facebook Page and website, complete with links to the listing, as well as attacks on my character, attacks about my family, attacks about my actual work, and much more. What I did was wrong, but had I had an opportunity to rectify it before the listing I would have, because when I did it, I really did not see it as theivery. I do now, whether it is 1 or 100 photos, it was wrong.
I am not posting this to comment on her own photography skills. You can determin that on your own and you can also decide on your own if you want to hire a photographer that is involved in these activities. I am posting this because people need to understand that www.Stopstealingphotos.com founded, moderated, and operated by Corey Ann Balazowich of Corey Ann Photography in Canton, Ohio is actively involved in destroying human lives and lying about the process.
