okiecandlemaker Posted June 4, 2007 Share Posted June 4, 2007 Ok, I've been working on creating a website. Now, my question is....... where do I get all the pictures of fruits, breads, flowers, etc. I've seen lots of pictures online, but it just seems unethical to copy and paste. Do I just need to make everything.......ie. banana nut bread, hot apple pie, cherry lemonade, etc. Although that might be kind of hard because I have lots of different fragrances and I'm the worlds worst photographer. Any suggestions? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

candlelady Posted June 4, 2007 Share Posted June 4, 2007 OR, you can go to Walmart and purchase Printmaster Plus, Gold or Platinum, they have live pictures, animated, etc... and 1000's of them. That's what I use.HTH! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You may use them all you want for private use, advertisement, etc., but they can not go on any item that is sold, nor in a logo in any fashion.

Late Night Posted June 5, 2007 Share Posted June 5, 2007 Beth is right. I did the same thing. I am now the proud owner of thousands of pictures etc. that I can't use. When I get a site I'll stick with using my own or if I have to buy one, I'll be sure to save the E-receipt for proof of purchase. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LynnS Posted June 5, 2007 Share Posted June 5, 2007 Use what you have at home. I did get some flowers at Wal Mart and used a heavy tablecloth(white) as background and also other colored tableclothes.The flowers look good and for fruit the artificial isn't expensive. Christmas time I used some poinsettas around lotion etc and some greenery. Come fall I don't know what I will do(leaves for one). My candles I will probably leave a plain background but the other pics I will dress up. I had about 5 days to come up with a pic for a juried show.I didn't know what to do so used my riser and took a pic in my mum flower bed. Displayed all items with a green tablecloth draped over the riser. Turned out very pretty and professional. I was amazed at what I came up with in short time. LynnSUsed to let my husband do pics but didn't take long for me to think I did better. He can put them on the site. He is good at that.

candlesprite7 Posted June 5, 2007 Share Posted June 5, 2007 Dover Publishing also has books with CD that you can buy to use on your website. Just be sure to buy the books with graphics that are Royalty, copyright free for artists and crafters. I use them all the time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Candybee Posted June 5, 2007 Share Posted June 5, 2007 I bought a digital camera and make photos on my own. All the photos on my site are ones I made so I also have copyright. It really the best way to go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
okiecandlemaker Posted June 6, 2007 Author Share Posted June 6, 2007 Thanks everyone for the suggestions. I appreciate it. I did find a website online where I can purchase pictures to use on my site. Some will be mine and some will be ones that I purchase. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
