How can I prove my copyright to photos I've taken?
343836
Mail copies to yourself in a registered envelope... so that the date is on them.  BUT... DO NOT OPEN THE ENVELOPE or you can't prove in court that you had them as of those dates.  Make sure you label the envelope well so that you know which ones are in there.  \n\n Another option... any photos you use professionally, take a bit larger photo and crop it and then use the rest.  Then if ever it is disputed... you can prove the original by producing the FULL picture... no one can copy the original when only you have the full one.

The copyright does belong to the photographer, unless that person has assigned rights, and then the copyright belongs to the current rightsholder.\n\nYou may have your own state rights, such as a right of publicity, that could keep others from distributing photos where you are the subject. \n\nIn general, though, just because you're in the picture does not mean you have the copyright.\n\nAnd yes, there is a copyright, even if the photograph or the page does not say so.

Search pictures of whatever you wish -\nhttp://images.google.com\n\nFree depends on the intended use. If it is for personal use, pretty much everything is okay. Otherwise, you might want to search for photos with creative commons licenses.

I don't think you can get a patent for images, but you can copyright them.  And no, not all images are copyrighted - but some are.  If they are, usually there will be a copyright warning either on the page or on the image itself.

Ultimately you have to give credit where credit is due.  Many sites will tell you that you can use the pics if you give them credit.  Others will say absolutely no.  Many school projects fall under fair use and would allow you to use the pics as long as you do not plan to profit from the use of another persons copyrighted material.  \n\nEmail the person that owns the site, get permission and say you used it and you have permission in the project.

The photographer owns the image unless they are working under some written agreement. They can't use your image for advertisement without your permission.

let me get this straight,  you did an image search in google and you found and image that you wanted to use and you downloaded and used it on you own website? \n\nyou are probably in breach of copyright how ever if you wanted to do that legally you could reference the image in you webpage from its original URL and then say where you got the image somewhere on your site

You need to look into the terms of the contract that existed between you and the photographer.\n\nWhen a photographer takes a photo they own the copyright to it, just as happens when anybody creates any sort of work in tangible form be it writing, a movie, a painting or a photo.\n\nOften when someone commissions a person to produce a work on their behalf the person doing the commissioning does so on the understanding that they will have copyright of that work.\n\nThe fact that they're your kids doesn't have any bearing on the matter.  \n\nFirstly you should check through any smallprint and see what that says.  In the absence of any terms or conditions then approach the photographer and see what she has to say regarding ownership of copyright.  You caould always state that you hired her on the understanfing that you would be granted copyright.\n\nUntil things are resolved I woundn't go selling the prints.\n\nI hope you manage to get things sorted - good luck.

If it's from a copy righted picture, then absolutely NO, not without permission. If you're just painting them as you see them it's OK, because they've put themselves into the public domain. It's legal, b/c almost none have their image copy-righted.
