Just because it says 'Shutterstock' right in the middle of photos doesn't mean he stole them.   

Yeah, Right


He just has not uploaded the images he legitimately purchased

Shutterstock has mentioned that "sometimes" buyers screw up and use the thumbs, but who really knows.  What also generally angers me is that this person is inferring that he/she built those driveways when in fact those "samples of my work" are merely stock images.  Basically lying to prospective clients.  Happens all the time.

But surely that's what we do? People buy my food images and say this is what we cook, enjoy,  but I cooked it, I prepared it, I styled it and i shot it and post processed it. That's what stock is, isn't it?

Did you contact Shutterstock about this?

Looking at the URL I worked backwards to a website design company

http://www.toolkitwebsites.co.uk/

I did a search on the business name and it appears they are a real company:

http://www.checkatrade.com/AndrewJamesDriveways/

Perhaps this was a pitch to that company to get them to use Toolkit to make a website and they didn't get the business? It probably shouldn't be visible to google if so, but I think that comps are OK on a mockup if that's what this is
