Boots refuses photos

A photography student was shocked when Boots staff refused to print her snaps – because they were too good.

According to reports, Joanna Ornowska photographed her pregnant best friend Malgorzata Kulinsha as a memento to give to her relatives.

But she was shocked when staff at Boots refused to print 30 pictures because they suspected they were professional shots illegally downloaded from the internet.

Boots’ policy on copyright means it is illegal to print photographs taken by a professional photographer without their permission.

Ms Ornowska showed staff her student ID and a letter from the university proving they were her photos but the manager at the store in Coventry still turned her away.
