The worst case of plagiarism we’ve ever seen!

gabriel daniels opulence images photography model management consultant plagiarismDuring a routine check for copyright violations, we came across the worst instance of plagiarism we ever had in the 15 years since we’ve been checking. In all, we found over 130 instances of plagiarism of written work and hundreds of instances of plagiarising photos by Gabriel Daniels, of Greenville, South Carolina, and his associated websites and social media. This covered virtually all of the content for dozens of websites and social media relating to his involvement in model and athlete management, photography, and management consulting.

We’ve catalogued all of it, including receipts, in the form of PDFs and/or screenshots of this plagiarised material on his websites and social media. We’ve done this because we understand that this isn’t the first time he’s plagiarised other people’s work, and we have to assume it won’t be the last.

So even though he’s deleted most of the websites and social accounts featuring the plagiarised material, and other material has been removed as a result of DMCA Takedowns by the content owners, we want this to be a lasting record of Gabe Daniels’ professional ethics.

UPDATE: Gabriel Daniels has rebranded to “Opulence Images” and “Opulence Solutions”. For more on that, click here.

Plagiarism of written work

Gabriel Daniels, owner of several Paramonos websites (see below), populated at least eight websites and his LinkedIn profiles with 130+ copyright blogs, ebooks, and articles that don’t belong to him, claiming them as his own. This includes…

  • Virtually every blog on every one of his websites, including blogs that still include personal details of and/or references to the real authors, as well as articles written in UK English, despite the fact he lives in the USA.
  • His professional bios
  • Entire pages of his claimed consulting capabilities
  • Most of the testimonials from a top brand agency

Photo plagiarism

Gabriel Daniels promotes himself as a model agent/rep and photographer, and has posted literally hundreds of photos taken by other photographers, of models he doesn’t represent. These are primarily on Instagram, but can also be seen on Facebook, Tumblr, Google+, some of his websites, and even Yelp!

Again, we are posting proof of this plagiarism, with photographer and model details (as available), and links to the original material.
