There are many sources on the web where one can get photos for use on blogs, and websites, etc. I will show my readers several in future articles and give my two cents worth on each. Then you can decide which will work for you.
The reason I'm even thinking about "photos" for Internet use, is that I'm creating another YouTube video (my most recent is a Johnny Cash Tribute: Me and My Heart).
I'm now creating a new video project and I'd like to speak with artists and photographers personally because I want them to be a real part of the project; getting credit and a link to their site so they can benefit from the video!
If you want to get info on the project, or know of anyone who might, please continue reading.
Make it a great day!

SUBJECT: Requesting use of your Image WARRING WOLVES: a
YouTube Video Project:
Good day. I am requesting the use of your picture (attached)
for a YouTube video. The video will illustrate my original song called: “Warring
Wolves”. You can hear the song on my webpage: www.terscott.com/sings.
The song
illustrates the Cherokee story of two wolves that “fight” inside each of us;
that of evil and good. The melody and lyrics are original. For now, your image
will be used as a “PowerPoint” type of video to the music. Later I may use it
again in a printed book form to further illustrate how I wrote the song. The
purpose of the YouTube video is to help people of all walks of life to “deal”
with these wolves that we each must choose which one to “feed”. Also, since both
lyrics and melody are original, my hope is that it will be picked up by a major
artist, which will further spread the wisdom of these words.
Your consent will authorize me (and anyone associated with
my company) to using your image(s) without remuneration. However, you will be
listed in the credits at the end of the video and on a webpage dedicated to the
project. On this webpage, you’ll have a live link to your website (if you have
one) so you’ll get recognition and visitors to your site. You may also be granted
the use of our link from your website to our webpage if we deem that it is “relevant”
to our visitors. And, we suggest that after the video is created that you
consider placing a link to the video on your site if you think it is relevant
to your site.
Thanks in advance for your consideration in being a part of
this great project. Please know that even after your consent to the use of your
image/artwork that unfortunately we may not be able to use it as we expect to
have an abundance to choose from. Know this though, if you get this email from
us, it is very likely that your image will be used as we are “editing” as we go
along in this selection and requesting process (this is a work in process).
I personally appreciate your work, and your “spirit” in all
you do.
To be a part of this project, please follow these
instructions:
Go to the page: www.terscott.com/sings
and listen to Warring Wolves (it’s one of the songs on the page; described as a
YouTube spectacular).
Next, complete the form on the page and we will reply with instructions
to get both the image and Image Release Form returned via attachment to our
email.
Finally, I welcome any questions or comments you have about
this project.
