Hi all,
I’m just wondering where I would stand if I wanted to use images by photographers for drawing.
I’m no established or well known artist by any means, just someone who like to draw and post my drawings on instagram and facebook (roughly 200 followers on both platforms so not considered an “influencer”) I do do commissions but they are mainly pets or grandkids or grandparents.
I have created a folder that I have added images to that I find would be good to draw, some by photographers and some by models. Sometimes the images don’t name the model, sometimes they don’t name the photographer. If a model has an image that doesn’t name the photographer, does the model own that image or does the photographer always own the image?
I know there are rules about copyright laws and such about using images so I’m just wondering if any photographers or models would mind if I used any of their images to draw?
Thanks for reading 🙂
