Total Art Soul - for artists

After reading a thread about the copyright problems with using other people's photographs for painting references, it occurred to me that this is the perfect place to offer my Creative Commons photos. My wonderful husband built a database for my photos that I've put into the Creative Commons for artists and others to use. Not many pictures of people; lots of nature pictures. I'll be adding more photos in the future (of my Hawaii trip first, probably).

I hope it's useful! (Please let me know about any bugs you might find on the site.)

I will not require members of this forum to adhere to the "attribution" rule. However, if you use my photos I would appreciate a link back to the site wherever practical (if you have a links page on your website, for example), so that other people can benefit from it as well.

If anyone has links to other Creative Commons photo resources, please share!

That's really nice of you to do I'm sure that will help someone out.

I have some photo's that can be made available too on the following link tinyurl.com/2v6pn4f

they are of my trip so far in khartoum and you are welcome to use them for ref materials.

you will notice some works of mine currently in progress in this section which i'm afraid will not be available (if you are unsure, just ask if something is available) due to contractual agreements with the agency i am registered with.

there are also pictures taken of artworks produced by other artists in the batch,so i would kindly ask that all respect their privacy and creativity by leaving these pictures untouched.

again if you unsure if something is available, just let me know the photo number and i can in turn say if this is for exchange etc.

Thanks Eirewold. I hope that our library will be up and running shortly so that members can add their photos they don't mind being used. I have a lot that I will be adding.

fantastic...will be bookmarking this for sure..would love to see more people/portrait style! hint hint.

If anyone is unsure of what 'Creative Commons' is, I put together an article a few days ago at Using creative commons licencing for art and photography - or, to give an example of using cli.gs, cli.gs/EY0AH3

It was originally put together for a new group on redbubble
