Online photos: Understanding copyright and finding photos to use for free
There are multiple ways to find fantastic photos online to use for free. You just have to know where to look, and how to take advantage of new open-source copyright licenses.
At the end of the session, you will be able to:
- Use Flickr, an online photography sharing website, to find gorgeous free photos
- Use Creative Commons licensing scheme to find and use free photos, and to license your photos
- Avoid paying sky-high licensing fees on iStockPhoto and other sites
- Know how to navigate the etiquette of asking for permission
- Avoid becoming an accidental photo thief
