As an artist, I am inspired by a famous photograph and would like to create a painting based on it. Do I need permission from the photographer before selling my work?

It depends on the contract that you agreed with the photographer when you acquired the photo. If there is no specific prohibition prohibiting reinterpretations or sales, it is likely that you do not need permission to sell your work as long as you do not copy protected elements of the photo.

It is advisable to get permission from the photographer before using their work for commercial purposes such as selling your artwork. Ideally, you should contact the photographer and explain your intentions. You may also need to sign an agreement that confirms you have obtained permission to use the image.
