Hi Maria, I love your work! I found you from a photographer's page who said not to use a photo commercially. I'm sensitive to that, bc I'm both an attorney and an artist. Using art for inspiration and reference is legally protected as "fair use," if we don't create a direct reproduction, "slavishly copy" or take the heart of the original. Photographers don't "own" basic elements like the shape or anatomy of a rabbit, or the pose of a child.
From what I've seen, your work is stylized and in a different medium than the original photographs. So don't feel shy about using references - photographers should be flattered. Congrats on your success thus far and keep up the beautiful images! βΊ

Hi, thank you so much for the kind words! If you don't mind, which photographer was it? Was it here on DA?
I use references in my work most of the time, either my own or others'. However, I do believe photography is an art form, especially concept photography that conveys unique ideas and scenes. So I prefer to get permission from a photographer if I want to use their photo, I think it's only fair to them.
