Hi, I was wondering, you know on nightclub gig flyers where you often have a picture of a sexy girl or guy photoshopped with some effects, where do the flyer producers actually get these pictures of the people from. Cause I know they haven't got time to take the picture themselves as it is'nt worth it, and i'm sure they're also not breaching copyright, so where are they getting these pictures from? Any ideas?
Pictures automatically have a copyright. If you didn't take the picture, you need permission. Photos with people need a model release for commercial usage. You can buy stock images from sites like istockphoto or www.sxc.hu also has some free pictures, but you need to read the license rights for restrictions on usage.
