Blogger 'creeped out' by copycat taking the same holiday pics
An Australian travel blogger was “disturbed” to find out she is being followed by a woman who had recreated the exact same Instagram photos as her.
Lauren Bullen, who travels the world with her boyfriend Jack Morris, was alarmed to discover that a British-based woman, using the account name @diana_alexa, has pictures remarkably similar to her own.
“I was very creeped out and disturbed when I saw the images,” Lauren told the Daily Mail.
The copycat pictures have extraordinary attention to detail, including the way the women pose and even the clothes they are wearing.
“I don’t promote and tag everything I wear, so that would have taken a lot of time and work, even down to the anklets and necklace,” Lauren wrote in a post on her blog, Gypsea.
“Not to mention the cost of all this - those outfits and accommodations don’t come at a cheap price.
“A lot of what Jack and I do is work with companies and brands to create imagery and promotion - this is our business and how we are able to continue to create this for everyone.”

Lauren says that she has made contact with the woman in question and they are working on 'resolving' the problem.
It’s not been revealed why her holiday snaps have been mimicked, but they do say imitation is the highest form of flattery.
