Celebrity Photos?

Post by jamess417 »

Hi,

I was wondering, where does everyone buy photos/prints of various actors?

I'm unsure of where I could buy small prints to send via fan mail.
Thanks!

Why don't you print them yourself from the internet. If you got a good printer and goog ink, it should work. I've printed many hundreds through the years.....

Exactly
Printers are very cheap now ($40-50), get some quality photo paper, and away you go.
Successes? --- too many to count - pm me and I can help with an address if I have it and it worked. Feel free to ask.

I get all mine printed at walmart. Find a nice pic on the web, upload it to them, print it in matte. You get it in about a week. Anyone that tells you "thats illegal" is just being a drama queen.

Ah, no. All photos except ones specifically marked as public domain belong to the person who took the photo. Chances are, you won't get stopped. But legally, they and other places can refuse to print the photos unless you have a release from the photographer or can prove they're public domain. Just because it's on the internet doesn't mean it's free to get printed.

And no, it doesn't matter if it's for personal use. 'Fair use' is something different.

I look for and buy press photos or lithographs to get signed.

Hartster is 100% right, technically speaking.
Sorry my dude, didnt mean to imply you were drama royalty! Apologies!
I personally think though they do fall under fair use, unless you were selling the reproductions commercially, but that is a debate we have endlessly argued over! :D
