Photos for Creative Purposes: Backgrounds

Collage artists, in some cases, need copyright-free photography for use in their work. At the same time, painters might like to work off refer- ence photos and there are those you practice Soul Collage as a method of self-discovery. I include visual journal creators, crafters, those who upcycle furniture and many others who require this type of photog- raphy. Indeed, I have tried many of these things myself. I would have been lost without having my archives of photography to draw from.Add this to my knowledge that all creative things just want to be out in the world doing their thing. Books want their pages turned, photos want to be seen/used and visual art wants to be experienced. Within this book are images that want to be cut out, used and/or torn up if needed. Within this book are images that can be freely used. With your endeavors, these images will fulfill their purpose. Hopefully, they can help you fulfill yours as well.Once you are done, take what you have created for these images and share it with the world if you so desire. Approach all these possibilities with JOY. As Robert Henri said, "All real works of art look as though there were done in Joy".
