It has been brought to our attention that several new members are looking very suspicious in their posts and activity on ClubSNAP. We have looked into their accounts and have reason to believe they are doing ninja advertising for their new wedding business. The following accounts have been identified as related to this photography company ( Shimmery Photography aka http://www.shimmeryphotography.com aka https://www.facebook.com/shimmeryphotography aka https://plus.google.com/+Shimmeryphotographysingapore ) :

We have also been alerted to their blatant disregard for copyright. Almost every single piece of photographic work in their website has been identified as work stolen from other photographers, with the original watermarks cropped away.
Here are screenshots of Shimmery's website:

ClubSNAP is a community of photographers and image creators. We take copyright extremely seriously. We will not tolerate any blatant disregard of copyright, nor do we welcome any participation from photography providers who exhibit this kind of unethical behavior. As such, after discussions among the moderator community, these members has been suspended with immediate effect, and queued for deregistration.
While we refrain to lay any judgement on the actual quality of their work (we have yet to see any of their original work), we would strongly advise potential customers to think twice before using their services, based on the way they operate alone.
