I always check twice to credit the photographer if I am not using stock images from istockimages. Even Creative Commons seems to be a very good option.. Thanks for the info..very useful Nice post..

Up until now, I have only done a couple of blogs using high-profile images, and they have always been credditted, and I've always footnoted that I will remove them in case of issues with it, but it seems that's not enough... I'll go link them up now, instead! One place that's great for images is deviantArt - www.deviantart.com. They make all artists state the law regarding their images beneath them, and if nothing is mentioned, you're free to use them! As most artists there are amateur, they like it if you comment with a link, but otherwise you're good to go! (: xxx Wow… thank you for this.

I have another question: What about press releases? I have a model-blog and there are several pictures on the net (i mostly even only need polaroids, so there is no real photographer that sells the picture) but I am really afraid to use them. A lot of modelagencies send news out with this polas- now it was my question if i could use them? In my country modelagencies aren't used (yet) to be asked by bloggers to use a picture...and they hardly answer this questions... its quite frustrating :( On the other hand I always see at the fashionspot people posting pictures from others sites... its quite the same what i would do it and of course mentioning the agency.....

It does become more than troublesome when people assume they have a right to the photos you've taken. Some designers and show coordinators even promise the models photos from the photographers attending without so much as consulting with us. An image with your likeness in it is NOT an implication that you own usage rights. Arrange it with the photographer. Sadly it becomes so hollow of value that the last fashion show I attended I was considering not taking photos. So I took the not-so-pretty direction of plastering a big watermark on the photos advertising the website I run to network fashion talent locally. If a photo is digitally purchased it becomes available without the watermark. There are three digital sizes available - the smallest is plenty large enough for blogging, personal photos on Myspace/Facebook/etc. I take photos for my website and others. However I find my photos on lots of social network platforms from people that have never contacted me. They latch onto the freely accessible and don't look back - which is something I could report but I have to also look at publicity. Some photos on Flickr have been picked up for publication by sites that have contacted me and offered appropriate attribution since that is how my photos are licensed through Creative Commons. Flyers for events becomes a different matter since most promoters would rather you PLEASE take their flyer and post it ANYWHERE. As a fashion photographer and blogger that’s trying to make a living.
