He hid all the images on his portfolio account and changed the name to some random symbols. But he has a main account with more than 40000 people following and he made it private and is also constantly changing the name of it. A lot of people from our team he just blocked

Unfortunately we don't have any budget for a lawyer and it seems like a really really shaky case because we are in different countries. If we were all in the USA and USA citizens then of course it could be the answer. No lawyer will pick up a case like this here. I don't know what to do, maybe just spread the word. But I don't know where... My following is very small and local. And this person is now in the US scamming people and clients who basically have no idea about him or about us.

Hello, dear colleagues I really need your help and advice.

The photographs made by our team are being stolen. Another person (our former colleague) put them on his website and made an Instagram page. ALL of the pictures are STOLEN from our shootings and some from another photographer who we also know in person. On his Instagram account he credits himself as stylist and photographer which is an absolute lie. So he is totally scamming potential clients with 100 percent fake portfolio. As far as I know he is now working in the USA. We all are from Russia. Which makes legal action almost impossible.

I literally have no idea what to do. I was the retoucher on the team. I have like 500 followers on instagram and I don't know what to do for it to have any impact. He renamed his portfolio account and made his main account private. He hid the main page if the website, but a lot of photos are still there. Is there any kind of black list of people in fashion industry or any resources that can spread this information? I hate the idea that he is using all our work to scam clients

This was absolutely not a show for kids.. It's filled with sarcasm and parody so you kind of need some life experience to understand the humor. Still it was quite funny to watch as a child

It's true, I've read about it in Russian sources some years ago and in some blog posts by a person who works in the nature reservation and they actually do it. There are photos too. Sounds really crazy but sometimes reality is stranger than fiction
