Boots refuses to print photography student's snaps... because they are too GOOD
When Joanna Ornowska took a series of elegant pictures of a pregnant friend, she proudly gave the digital snaps to Boots to be printed.
But the store refused to process the 30 photographs - because they were too good.
Workers said the portraits looked to be the work of an expert and did not believe the 25-year-old student took them.
Her model, eight months pregnant Malgorzata Kulinsha, 26, took the snaps on a memory stick to a Boots store in the Lower Precinct Shopping Centre, in Coventry, West Midlands, last week.
She was challenged by staff who accused her of breaking copyright laws, which make it illegal to print professional photographs without their owner's permission.
Miss Kulinsha returned the following day with her friend's student ID and a signed letter proving she was studying for a degree in photography at Coventry University.
But the Boots staff demanded a further letter written on headed paper.
Even when both women went to the store to prove that the photographer and model were happy to have the snaps printed, staff refused to back down and the pair were sent away empty-handed.
