Do you have a link to the actual publication? When I hear that a magazine or photographer "steals" an image I start to think that it is just some misunderstanding. I know Jasmine would never intentionally claim someone else's work as hers and for photographers it's always tricky when an image gets used as advertising yet isn't the work of that photographer. No one questions that a McDonalds image isn't always 100% honest, yet if a photographer uses a stock image to promote something then there is outrage when people find out the photographer didn't take that image.
I don't mean to take Jasmine's side or anything, I just know that in many cases a simple misunderstanding happens and it gets blown out of proportion. That video is ridiculous though, to say there isn't value in a $1000 workshop is so unbelievably subjective you could never make that argument. Some of the most successful photographers I know have spent 10s of thousands on education and when applied, they have become the top of their field. Okay end of rant....I don't know why I found this so interesting ha
I'm all for great workshops, but Jasmine Starr is seen as a scourge by a lot of photographers.
I would say that is far from the truth. She is very talented and happens to be one of the nicest persons you'll ever meet if you get the chance. Her service to our industry has been nothing short of incredible and has been a good influence for many photographers.
All I know is she is HOTTT!!
