Dear Mr. Wazir,
I’m a hobbyist artist and I liked a portrait photo of your son so much I used it as a reference for a practice in drawing a while ago. I didn’t plan to publish it. Now I would like to send the drawing to a competition.
I thought the photo was free to use but just to be sure I looked it up again and found out it was copyrighted. I would very much like to enter this competition and would like to politely ask for your permission to enter with a drawing based on your photo. I don’t know if it is required to get permission to draw from a photo but I think it is the right thing to do.
Regards.
Andrej Blazon
Actually this is not the first time I get this kind of request, actually I feel deeply honoured when someone contacted me and asking a permission for using my photograph for personal reason, not for commercial reason. This is not the first time I get a request from someone who wanted to paint a picture based from one of my photograph.
And I did asking a permission back from Andrej Blazon, to publish his great painting with my readers on my blog. Like I said I feel deeply honoured when someone get an inspiration from my photograph especially my son picture, knowing that, there are a million of photograph of a children on the internet and to be among the chosen one is what kept me going.
Thank you once again Andrej Blazon.
