@@novasummer7976 The public doxing on a viral scale. I would be pretty fucking horrified to learn that I have suddenly become internet famous AND doxed at the same time for no reason. Doxing is a CRIME people. Please don't encourage such irresponsible behavior.
Orly S you’re making yourself feel good by making out that cause some people missed 3 seconds of words that he said in a video, they’re wrong to do so in some way? Crazy ego, who has 100% concentration?
Ishaan Basu I do, he stated that the amount of people who didn’t watch the video is shocking but that’s just assuming people didn’t hear it because they didn’t watch it, or even not everyone is going to watch every last second especially if there’s been an outro photo before he says this, so most people would click off, or some might’ve written their comment halfway through watching
I sure hope not. There is no indication that "Sarah" has ever agreed to being doxed, especially on this wide a scale. While it's a lighthearted and fun idea, this is incredibly irresponsible, rude and possibly quite illegal.
@@guy2316 Not yet on this video. But the implication is we're going deeper. Also what I'm really worried about is the fact that he specifically encourages people to do whatever it takes to find any and all info on her. Very, very dangerous behavior, just saying.
@@leodf1 ??????????????? There's a reason why the company does not disclose private information or even the name of their talents. Why the fuck would we not respect someone's privacy JUST BECAUSE it's possible to disrespect them... Oh, and doxing is the act of publicizing one's private information. And especially bad doxing is going out of one's way to make that info near viral in it's popularity. And incredibly fucking bad is encouraging an army of internet doxers to dox as much information as they could possibly find to dox. Perhaps YOU need to look up what doxing means.
@@DonMuffatello Someone has and all its gained is comments of, "this is illegal" and, "stop stalking people" www.reddit.com/r/RBI/comments/g9d79e/youtuber_from_the_uk_trying_to_track_down_the/. Ones been posted today on the same subreddit which will mostly end up like the last one. 🤔
@@antisocial-gamer7293 And those comments absolutely make sense. This is a fun concept but definitely very rude if not illegal since the woman in the picture has probably not agreed to a public doxxing.
thats Carrie Fisher from the set of the first star wars film. i was there, i took the photo. i was 94 years old at the time, working out of timbuktu, and flew in at george lucas request to do candid cast photos. she was very charming, but drank ouzo constantly and spat on the floor. i married her the next year. its all absouletly verifiable if you send me your birth certificate, and picture of your state issued ID.
@@mercurywoodrose wrong, she married a man named Tom, which is my dad, she’s my stepmother, very beautiful and charming, had three other kids, drank ouzo and spat it on the ceiling, NOT the floor, and her name was Linda, it is absolutely verifiable if you send me 1 Million in CASH
The Getty page says it’s from the collection “Photodisc”. From the wiki, it seems Photodisc was “a publisher of digital stock photography...” and that the company combined with Getty to form Getty Images; an acquisition finalised in February 1998. Might this mean it’s, at the latest, from early 1998?
Photodisc published stock photography on CD back in the 90s, before online payment + direct digital downloads really started to take off. We used to just have dozens of their discs in the design studio, each one had a catalog of image previews that you could browse from the CD, and buy by contacting Photodisc. They were pretty ubiquitous in the digital design and publishing scene.
@@MaxFosh Oh, good question. Not off the top of my head. I don't have any on hand these days (too many studio changes in the last 20 years :), but they were plentiful at one point so there must be some still floating around in old collections. Maybe contact some design studios in your area that have been around for a while? Studios from that era have a tendency to not throw stuff out. You know, just in case.
I have a couple of similar disks but not that one. Stock photo/clipart CDs and DVDs were very common until the mid 2000s and there are some on eBay now they've become obsolete and the companies purchased by Getty/Alamy/the other stock media giants.
This is actually the last known picture of Matt's biological mom before she abandoned him to pursue a career as a stock photography model. Hence his obsession in trying to find this person.
Yeah I was with it until he said that. I thought he was going to say he'd fly wherever and give her some flowers then take a picture with her. Like he said on the morning show. But on the bed for his own house adds a new level of connotation.
From the looks of the file name, if it’s called 2005-09-01 that implies the date it was probably taken maybe or at least something to tell you it’s before 2007 not very much but maybe some help
The pic was used in a Los Angeles Travel magazine back in August 2003 for a skin care company. (Along with a few more of Sydneys images). Trying to contact the author atm
I think the woman in the frame is the same as the model in the album cover at 7:51 - might help to do the bulk of your research on that photo instead as it's in colour and shows more of her face. I tried to run it through a bunch of 'find my twin' sites but no luck.
Maybe i am thinking too much about this but is this not a bit creepy on the model's end?? Like on his and our side, yeah it is interesting and is something to do and it makes us feel like we are solving a mystery but on the other side of the picture, a model is being hunted by thousands of strangers online for a photo she had taken at least a decade ago. Many stock photo models are usually just people who need a little bit of a pocket change, most of them are even hesitant about putting themselves out there like that and idk whoever she is, she might be disturbed from all the attention in the end. In best case scenario, this will be haha funny we really did that but in worst case scenario results might be disturbing. Just saying. At least try not to dehumanize her and if you ever find her, be nice about it and try not to freak her out???
Came here from Jaackmate. Honestly one of the most interesting videos I've watched all year. I honestly believe that this is completely original and hasn't been done on the platform before. Usually you wouldn't think much about a stock photo, but it's extremely interesting to see the history and the mystery behind a picture that almost no one would think twice about. Excellent content Max, keep up the good work and I've made sure I have subscribed.
This is the question I always ask myself seeing any type of stock image!!! that photo has to be taken by someone, somewhere on this 'confined' earth... what a blessing that someone is doing the research.
I really love Max's videos, it's like episodes of the BBC's Fake or Fortune! Great investigative skills! Can you do your own episode of buying an old painting and trace its origin?
Truthfully, I am wondering _why_ are you looking for her? You never really explained that part. And what if she doesn't want to be found? This whole thing is a bit uncomfortable
it's just a fun little experiment to pass the time, also, if u are (or were at one point) working as a model, there is no way you would not want to be recognized, that's kind of the basis of the job. I don't think there is a way this could harm her or affect her negatively.
@@novasummer7976 she appears to be young (college student type of young) in the photo, and it's a stock photo, which is not exactly respected photography that one would want to be recognized from. It's clear that she's not *actually* a model, she probably did this for some side money.
reminds me of a similar story fr when i was in highschool. i was doing a documentary on my town in the 70s for a film class, and my teacher referred me to a local history book, which contained information about the man who founded my highschool, name, wifes name, some of the work he did in the area (real mad lad stuff) and where he moved to when he left, and what he changed his name to, and a picture pf him in a blue ball cap. i googled his old name and new name and got photos and one strange result- the fine bros elders react channel. looked at the guy, seemed similar, looked him up on the fine bros wiki, same career, same wife, SAME. BLUE. HAT. and he wasn't just any fine bros guest, either. Yehuda Fine, the fine bros dad, created my highschool my driving around the 70s hippie communes in the area, and teaching kids out of the back of his van.
This is quite entertaining and good use of quarantine time. I had no idea that "Sarah" was famous elsewhere in other parts of the world. I had the same image stock in my photo frames too. Hope you find her! Would love to see the end result.
Some meta data is actually hidden in the code of the image. You might want to actually look at the code for the image file. All websites have meta data and they are often hidden from the user, so I assume the same for images.
You have to come to Norway on may 17. (After coronna ofc). The whole country walks around watching kids in a parade. And the hight school seniors party for na entire month
I think it's highly possible the photo was taken in Australia. I'm a New Zealander & have a frame with the same stock photo. I've had the frame ~10 years.
I know you're well past that stage now, but did you realise where you went wrong with the reverse image search? The photo was sideways. I just tried it with a screenshot from that part of your video (so way lower resolution), rotated to the right way up, and the Getty Images page for it was one of the first things in the results. Also I think any metadata that was in the original file from the photographer is very unlikely to be present in an image purchased from somewhere like that, especially as they sell it in different resolutions. They would have had to on-purposely transfer the original metadata across to the new files when creating them (and they'd probably actually want to avoid keeping any information like that in the ones they sell to the public)
This was actually really interesting. Wild goose hunts in the modern age are very intriguing, even though if it's only about such frivolous matters as stock photo models. You know, the hide-the-pain-harold guy became a meme and that's an interesting story as well.
