Unless specifically otherwise stated, all photos, written works, etc are automatically copyrighted. Under copyright law, you could, for example, save a picture from my website for your own private use but if you were to use it for commercial purposes, you would need to contact me or be in violation of copyright.

Always advisable to ask owner of photo for permissions.
