    Those photos belong to the company. Further, they belong to the photographer unless he is in-house, then they still belong to the company. Don’t even think about it.

    There should be no problems with a sketch, but an illustration depicting an exact replica would probably cause an issue.

    • Really, an illustration wouldn't be my own work? I know a photo would be ok, or that's what I've read anyway.. hmm..SteveJobs
    • An illustration redrawing the copyrighted work would be a derivative, and you need permission, otherwise the original's copyright supersedes yours.monNom
    • or you are basically joint authors of the work, which means neither of you can use the work legally without the other's permission. AFAIKmonNom
