using old / vintage photos for stock?     posted on 31st of august, 2007

anyone know what the policy is for using vintage photos? in particular vintage photos with people. I have acquired a large box of family photos [+1500]. many of these are from the 1930's - 1950's. most are of my grandmother and grandfather and family members. There are some of my grandparents that I think would make for good vintage style stock. even though my grandparents have passed on [ have been for many years] would I still need a release? if so, why, and what kind of release?

If the photos were taken by your grandmother or grandfather then you need a property release. If they are dead, then you need a property release from the family that entitles you to use the images, Either way, if your grandparents did nor sign any paper of property release neither to you not to any other member of your family, then it is quite difficult as you need a paper, with signature and with legal liability, to use your grandparents photos.
