Hi,

I am helping out a friend that is looking for the photographer of this image:



They want to take it to a related conference, and would also like a high-resolution version to enlarge. Remuneration can be discussed with them, I am merely assisting in tracking down him or her.

Hi,

you'll find this photo all over the net. The largest size is 1102×620 (e.g., http://img145.imageshack.us/img145/6112/rhinodeadpoachedrhino.jpg). I’ve check about twenty sites; no EXIF data, no IPTC, no copyright given. I'm afraid you can’t use it in the public without copyright infringement...

I've also seen it all over the place... I am not the one who wants to use it, but some crowd who want to use it at a conference. I will let them know, and they must decide. Just though that posting it here might help.

Step 1) Use Tineye.

Step 2) Find a site that actually credits the photographer (rare).

Step 3) Contact the photographer/ organization that was credited, and ask them if it is their image!

NOTE: Most of the time this is not so easy, but that's a pretty iconic image. Good luck!

Not entirely accurate.

It depends upon what year the photograph might be taken. The OP's noted photo does appear to be more recent, but... After a certain number of years it can be used as long as people are not the main subject. Also noting; if the photo as used in something such as research and/or education, as long as it could be accredited back to the original person who took the pic.

True. ;-)

After a certain number of years it can be used as long as people are not the main subject.

For work created after 1978 seventy (!) years after the death of the author... See 17 USC § 302 - Duration of copyright: Works created on or after January 1, 1978 | Title 17 - Copyrights | U.S. Code | LII / Legal Information Institute

Also noting; if the photo as used in something such as research and/or education, as long as it could be accredited back to the original person who took the pic.

Maybe 17 USC § 107 - Limitations on exclusive rights: Fair use | Title 17 - Copyrights | U.S. Code | LII / Legal Information Institute is applicable.
