I am writing a book on Photography. This book will contain about 500 tips on photography, and will deal with equipment, techniques, People/Portraits Photography, landscapes, Still life, Children, sports, Food Photography, Digital Images, and so on.
This book will contain about 100 photographs. I need photographs/ illustrations for use in this book.The photographers will be duly acknowledged in the book.
May I, with permission!

If you look at my portfolio here on DPC, as well as //www.dpdave.deviantart.com, and //www.med-cruise.com, you should be able to find plnty of examples of what not to do. Let me know if you want to use any of them.

Not to be a stick in the mud, but getting permission in this manner is not totally legal. I mean, someone with a hat here by the name of rubberducky, for example, giving you permission to use their photos won't really stand up in any court should your book become a best seller and someone wants in on the action later on.
Someone I know was writing a book about online forum interaction, and wanted to use quotes for her book. She had to get either electronic signatures using specific emails that could be substantiated, or she had to actually get written copies from each person by snail mail.
I would suggest going the extra mile and doing that for those that allow their permission to be used. Just a suggestion, but better safe then sorry.

I am sure when it goes to print the printers would want hires images from the original photographer, as such the legalities could be ironed out at that stage.

I've had a 640xXXX image printed in a book - on the back cover, actually - and it worked remarkably well. This despite my suggestion that they really ought to use a higher res version.

I seriously doubt that he was only going to get the permission form a forum thread. I think that the whole point of this thread is to find people willing to donate photos.

You can browse my portfolio, and if you see something you want to use, let me know, and I'll verify (or decide at that time) whether it's ok.
One thing you might want to elaborate on: what form is this book to be published in, online or paper, what is the publisher name, anticipated run, etc. What rights if any do we "give up", etc.

Your best bet is to go through every portfolio you can find. As you find photos worth using, PM the photographer and ask permission specific to each one. Besides, you may want higher quality originals to print.
This thread is a good "heads up", but Rose is right in that permission granted in here will likely not protect you later were they to "change their mind". Good luck! |

Yes. You are right. I will seek permission individually.

This will be a hard copy (not an online book). The first print run will be about 2000 copies only. I have contacted 4-5 publishers, and the script has been approved by two of them.
You will give your photographs for this specific use only, and do not give up any rights! |

may I suggest compensating the photographers who contribute their images, that is if you are going to be making money off of this book, the photographers who contributed images should be able to see a fair (albeit 1/100 is small) portion of this profit, just from an ethical standpoint.
Too many people just give away their work IMO. |

That's for the photographer to decide. If they want to donate their image, that is their right. If they don't like the terms, they don't have to release their image.

Ethically, it is correct thing to do. But I am not sure what payments I will get. It is publishers market now-a-days, especially so in India. The copyright is with publishers, and they make only one time payments. I will consider sharing it with others (or at least donate a part of it in charity). |
