Is there a website where I can find printer friendly pictures by photographers?

Question: Is there a website where I can find printer friendly pictures by photographers!?

I need to sometimes look up photos by famous/not-so-well-known photographers and I use google images, but sometimes the picture has too little pixels and I don't want to ruin the quality by expanding!. When I look up the artist's name, the websites where his/her pictures are are do not allow me to print!. Is there websites that allow you to print in a nice size!? Www@QuestionHome@Com

None that I know of!. However, there are tonnes out there that are public domain!. To find "picture friendly" photographs, you could use their advanced search feature and change the file size/type and get a better selection to browse through!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Unfortunately if you are looking for images by specific photographers you will likely run into quite a bit of trouble!. The reason for this is that photographers will usually not release high quality photos because they do not want people to steal them (yes, printing them without permission is copyright infringement) and unfortunately the photograph piracy movement hasn't exactly taken off yet!.

If you do manage to find a high resolution photo on a photographer's web site, you can try using the print screen button (PrtScn on your keyboard), then pasting it into Microsoft Paint, or any other graphics program, with Ctrl+V!. As mentioned, this is technically illegal, but I don't imagine anyone in the world would care!.

Additionally you may be interested in stock photography web sites (such as stock!.xchng, http://www!.sxc!.hu/, which is free)!. These are less likely to get you photos from specific photographers, but they do contain plenty of high-resolution photos!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Photobucket, shutterfly, snapfish, flickr, lomography!.com!. theholga!.com, lensbabies!.com
The first 4 sites have mostly amateur and unknown photographers works!. The last 3 have some more professional and commercial photo works!. The last 3 you will also find some more artistic and less conventional works!. Many famous works you won't find legitimately in larger sizes!. I hope this helps you!. Email me if you would like to know more sites!. ;) Www@QuestionHome@Com

You have many good suggestions above but remember that the photographer should give specific permission before you make prints!.

I am going out on a limb here and will give everyone permission to print any photo I have published on my blog as long as I am given credit for taking the photo!. The photos should make fairly good prints at 4 x 6!. I have not watermarked them either!. Link is below!.

Most photographer would be very upset with you, printing and steeling their hard work, you should ask the people on the websites you find in google for a better copy of the picture, and then offer them money for it, instead of commiting pplagiarism
