Ian's reply was just about perfect. The area where artists can get into trouble is if they use "found" images and they do it in the USA or France. Pete Turner successfully sued Robert Rauschenberg for using one of his magazine images in a collage painting.

Other photographs that I intend to exhibit in the future, are of a person wearing a helmet with a logo, and a photograph of a facade of a hotel, that shows the building's signage. With these examples do I need to seek permission from the motorbike helmet manufacturer, and the proprietor of the hotel chain?
