Using photographs of public places in children's book
Posted: Fri Aug 11, 2017 11:40 am
Hi I'm a newbie here. I am working on a children's book and the main characters travel to iconic public places in London like the tube, London bus, the London Eye, Buckingham Palace, Southbank Centre to see the grafitti etc.
I am using photographs I took and some stock images under CC0 license and I wonder if I can use them in my book without getting property release (considering the freedom of Panorama)?
A few photos that bother me in particular are those with the London Eye, the London underground rondel inside the book and the Lonon bus image on the cover. Can I use them directly considering it as editorial use? or I could still use the images but need to modify/distort/blur them?
Having read many articles online, I am still unsure what I can and cannot do, so appreciate if anyone can help me out.
Thanks a lot!
