Boing Boing Staging

Instagram celeb weirded out by follower who matched all her shots

It’s easy to see why someone would want to emulate Instagram power couple Jack Morris’ and Lauren Bullen’s globetrotting adventures. One follower got a little carried away, though, matching locations and shots so meticulously that it started to feel pretty unsettling.

Grace Pak at DesignTaxi got the follow-up story:

Going by the handle @diana_alexa, the follower in question went to the extent of visiting the exact destinations the couple visited, recreating the composition, angle, poses, to the outfits in the photos. In some posts, ‘Diana’ even copied the captions, and posted some of Morris’ images as her own. Shocked and creeped out by the situation, Bullen took to her blog to share the harrowing experience.The photographer has since contacted ‘Diana’ to resolve the issue, and the latter has privatized her Instagram.
