Asking permission for photos

**AnnCP** · 02-01-2007, 01:38 AM

What's the proper protocal for this? Let's say you want to review a product that you really like on your website, and of course you want to put a picture along with your review. Is in bad taste to just take the picture from the company's website? Or should you ask first?

I can't imagine that anyone would complain if their product is getting a glowing review by someone, but I'm still not sure it's proper to ask first. I know you always ask if you're using the photo for any other purpose though.

It's always polite to ask

As long as you host it yourself, and don't claim it as your work, you might not upset anyone though

Honestly, I wouldn't worry about this for a product review

I think it would all depend on the company. Some may care and some may not.
