Are you trying to find images for your artist blog? This infographic, Can You Use That Image for Your Art Blog, will help you to understand how to use copyrighted images for your art blog and art website.

 




Can You Use That Image for Your Art Blog [Infographic]

As an artist, you know the importance of images. An image can tell an entire story without using one word.

You also know the importance of adding images to your blog and social media posts.

It has been proven that blog posts receive more engagement and shares that have images over posts with just text.

The problem is that you will be writing more blog posts than you have of original artwork.

Many artists struggle with lack of time, so going out and staging subjects to photograph is out of the question.

So what do you do?

Where can you find images that you can use for your blog legally?

As an artist who sells art online, you know the risks of uploading your artwork online for people to view. You can take extra measures to protect your images by resizing them and adding a watermark, but the risks are still there.

The good news is that it is illegal to copy and use images without permission. The laws protect your artwork as well as the photographers who are also trying to make a living.

There are ways you can use images online and this infographic courtesy of Samantha Lile will help you to understand how to legally use copyrighted images.
