The AIPP has disqualified one of Lisa Saad’s 2018 Commercial Photographer of the Year-winning images following a formal complaint by Dutch photographer Marcel van Balken that significant elements of the composite had been appropriated from one of his architectural images.
This was followed within 24 hours by an announcement from the WPPI (Wedding & Portrait Photography International) regarding an unnamed female photographer, almost certainly Lisa Saad, who has been banned from WPPI competition for five years and had all past awards rescinded.
