class=\"s2\">Daryl Aiden Yow<\/span><\/a> was a beloved Instagram influencer.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\">With over 100,000 followers on the platform, Yow established himself as one of Singapore\u2019s top \u201ckey opinion leaders\u201d \u2014 one of a growing group of glitterati who induce #goals and #fomo to add happiness to our increasingly delusional and dull lives.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Defining himself as a \u201cPhotographer\u201d on his Instagram profile, Yow made quite the name for himself; most notably as a travel photographer who showcased the beautiful scenery of the cities he visited, frequently collaborating with the likes of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/dreachong\/\"><span class=\"s2\">Andrea Chong<\/span><\/a>, and raking in sponsorships from brands like Sony.<\/span><\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_18141\" style=\"width: 726px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\"

\u2014\u00a0that is, until it was <a href=\"https:\/\/mothership.sg\/2018\/06\/daryl-aiden-yow-instagram-photos-singapore\/\"><span class=\"s2\">unceremoniously revealed<\/span><\/a> that the photographs found on Yow\u2019s profile were, in most cases, stock-free images he\u2019d edited and claimed as his own, or \u201cappropriated\u201d from other photographers without crediting them (i.e. plagiarised).<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Upon first hearing Yow&#8217;s predicament, I tried to give him the benefit of the doubt: perhaps his online persona was a new take on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.telegraph.co.uk\/photography\/what-to-see\/is-this-the-first-instagram-masterpiece\/\">Amalia Ulman&#8217;s 2014 digital art project<\/a>, or a more theatrical and slow-burning example of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.refinery29.uk\/2018\/03\/193779\/blogger-faked-disney-trip-instagram\">the ease in which people can be fooled on Instagram, a la travel blogger Carolyn Stritch<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>A quick look through Yow&#8217;s feed made it quite clear, however, that he was more akin to\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/mashable.com\/2017\/09\/05\/fake-photojournalist-eduardo-martins-brazil-instagram\/\">Eduardo Martins<\/a>\u00a0and not so much a thoughtful artist attempting to make a statement about the state of humanity in the digital age (for the record, it&#8217;s #great).<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"s1\">As expected, and likely warranted in most cases, yesterday\u2019s story has resulted in

been rather open about his use of Photoshop in the past, and one could argue that the use of purchased royalty-free images is more prevalent in the industry than we&#8217;d like to think.<\/p>\n<p>However, his practice of suggesting (or claiming) that he himself captured the photographs he shared is concerning, and his use of other photographers&#8217; images without crediting them is straight up wrong.<\/p>\n<p>Yet, something about the way in which Yow has been vilified made me wonder: is he a lying thief, or an unlucky sod who thought he could get away with a persona he

from blameless as well.<\/p>\n<p>Now now, before you get your panties in a knot, allow me to explain through the use of rhetorical questions: Would you only visit <em>one<\/em> coffee shop before deciding that it was the best one in the city? Would you only visit <em>one<\/em> store for that pair of shoes you&#8217;re looking for to be convinced that it&#8217;s the best price you can get?
