Q: Can use a picture of my work thru one company and use it for my own company website.
I have a picture of a yard that i maintained for a mowing company. I now have my own mowing company and mow for myself. Can i use that same picture of my work for that company and put it on my website
A:
Who took the picture? When was it taken. If you did not take the picture than you can not use it without permission. If you did take the picture, but took it as an employee of the other company, they likely also have the rights to the picture as "employee work product."
You would be best to take another picture to use on your website as then you do not have to worry about any issues.
