I ended up on McD ad: Author reveals how she became a stock image
South African author Shubnum Khan has revealed how her photos taken six years ago by a photographer went viral and ended up being on a McDonaldâs advert. Her photos were used to promote immigration in Canada, sell carpets in NYC and even sell fairness creams. "Use my story as a cautionary tale. Don't sign up for free photoshoots," she said.
