the fact that famed photographer Steven Klein COMPELETLY ripped off and STOLE my photoshoot concept I did in 2006 (and was one of Myspace’s most viewed photos in history!) makes me WANNA PUKE.

even down to the fucking BOWL color and placement of a spoon.

how is this OK? because I’m not as big as Britney Spears, it’s ok to steal MY idea and put it in a big magazine and pretend it was your idea? PATHETIC.

omg what the hell

Ok well, I am not really a Jeffree fan, but I am not a fan of rip-offs. from what I have researched, the receipts check out. This spread appeared in W Magazine, March 2007 in a spread called “X-Urbia”, a full year after it appeared on Jeffree’s page.

Wow, this some Tyler Shields type bootleg shit. I don’t know why this is being brought up 5 years later, but Steven Klein was definitely guilty of being a major plagiarist. We know that he has no problem hanging out copycats lately.
