Hi everyone, I'm new. I've taken a long break from doing any bird painting but I want to get back into it again. My friends are encouraging me to put stuff in our local art gallery. Birds are my favorite subject matter but I'm not a super keen photographer. I'm looking to work with some photographers in getting permission to use their photos. I have some questions for those of you who have done this.
Do most photographers require payment? I only ask because this is just a hobby, I have another job and this is just basically something different for me to do and if I sell a few pieces a year it's a bonus. Also I may paint a piece and not sell it for years or even never (I have a few of those hanging up!) And should permission be granted in writing or is online permission appropriate?
Thanks.
I havn't figured out how to post a photo yet but I have a facebook page with some of my work on it : https://www.facebook.com/petportraitsprincerupert/
