It is a longstanding defense and provides allowance for copyrighted material to be reused or reworked, providing the user acknowledges the original photograph. Navigating this legal and ever-evolving issue can be tricky; however, there are four factors which help determine if the utilization of a photograph falls under fair use:(1) Purpose & Character,(2) Nature of Copyrighted Work,(3) Amount & Substantiality,and(4) Effect on Potential Market.Taking these into account can help you stay within the bounds of usage for a given photograph and always acknowledge its origin story.
