A photography student was told by staff at Boots that they would not print her pictures - because they appeared to be of professional standard.

Joanna Ornowska, 25, photographed her pregnant best friend Malgorzata Kulinsha last week so that Miss Kulinsha could show her family the pictures.

But the pair were astonished when Boots refused to print the pictures because they suspected they were professional shots illegally downloaded on the internet.


Lol. If I was her, I wouldnt know if it was offensive or if I was being complemented. Read all about it here (http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/newstopics/howaboutthat/7541521/Boots-refused-to-print-students-pictures-because-they-were-too-good.html)

Well one consolation is there are plenty of print shops. I think somebody here was a bit too strict on the term 'copyright'. They usually refuse if they have a logo on them.

Doesn't make it less obvious at all

I guess Boots are just doing their job, i'd just take it as a compliment and find another company who prints photographs :)

It's just another pathetic situation in which retailers take things way over the top.
