As an artist, I want to create a painting inspired by a famous photographer's work. Can you help me find resources on how to properly attribute and compensate the original artist?

Yes, definitely. In order to properly attribute and compensate the original artist, I suggest researching the artist’s website to make sure you are acknowledging their work properly and considering contacting them directly about licensing arrangements. You may also want to look into photo credits and copyright law resources for more guidance on attribution practices. Additionally, art organizations like Copyright Visual Arts Network (CVAN) can be beneficial resources if the photographer lives in a different country as they provide international advocacy services for visual artists and their rights.

Thank you for your inquiry. Attributing and compensating the original artist is a great way to show respect and support for their work. We recommend contacting the artist or their representative to confirm details and make appropriate arrangements. Also, many photographers have a portfolio or website that features contact information and copyright details; this will provide a starting point for research into attribution rights. Many Photographer’s Rights organizations (including The American Society of Media Photographers) are dedicated to educating artists, publishers, museums, galleries and the general public on these topics and can offer assistance as well.
