TJ: Anyone any good with copyright law? I'd like to know if you do a painting or drawing based on a photo, do you need permission from the photo owner. From what I can make out, if it's not a direct copy (i.e. scan, photocopy, download, etc), then it's fine.

suggests otherwise, but that might be American law.

I saw that.
Nearly everything on t'internet is US law, which is quite different to UK and Australian law. Bugger. I've done a drawing of a fairly distincitive aircraft and want to put it on my site, but don't fancy getting done for it

edit: Ah, bugger: https://secure-b.copyrightservice.co.uk/copyright/p22_derivative_works.en.htm

email sent to the chap...

As a rule,
I think people only care if you are making a profit from using their work. The worst you could get is an email asking you to remove it.

I guess if you are selling the painting then it's only fair to contact the photographer to offer them a fair share.

That said, people usually like an email to say their work is appreciated, so contacting the photographer is probably the best approach. And give them a link to their website.

Pretty much what I was going to do
(i.e. giving a link to the original and an ackowledgement), but I wasn't going to sell it.

I think you need to ask the person that took the photo
at least I assume this as I have had a few people ask me if they could use some of my photos for painting.
