This deviant is stealing images from National Geographic's talented team of professional photographers. The main targets being Michael Nichols and Tim Laman.

Just one example of the many stolen images in his gallery. Could everybody please report these images and let's try and get this sort of scum off of deviantart.

PS. He hides comments on his user page so I assume others have cottoned on to him too.

That's awful... I really hope something is done about that person. >>
Photography is such an amazing thing, it's really awful that people would go as low as to steal someone else's art just to gain popularity. Actually just to steal in general id awful.

Indeed. I posted a comment on his userpage with links to the original artists' work and he flagged it as spam, what a joker!! People like this make me so mad.

Why not check out my gallery and website
DA should do something with him i looked in his gallery and unless he works for National Geographic...those pics are pretty damn good. I once posted a pic of a pic, and DA was allover me....scumbag!!!!
Thieves need to be punished, how did he think he was going to get away with stealing, especially from National Geographics! I have reported him, lets hope something is done soon!
What a loser! Why post someone else's work???? It just makes no sense at all.

Tell me about it. These photographers spend years trying to get a position like National Geographer Photographer, then some talentless little blaggard claims their work as his own.

He's talentless. The images are by different Nat Geo photographers, including Nick Nichols, Jodi Cobb and Tim Laman.
