The majority of the images you find are not copyright free. This applies to postcards, magazines, newspapers, catalogues, junk mail, pictures in books, pictures created by your friends, images captured from video or television, and pictures found on the Internet.
However, if you have written permission from the copyright holder,then you are free to use the pictures in your projects. Sometimes people will give you their okay to use their pictures.
Sometimes copyright holders will permit you to use their images under certain conditions -- which could include attributing the source, placing restrictions on how the work can be published and distributed, or in exchange for licensing fees or royalties.

Use Copyright Free Images that are in the Public Domain
An image reverts to the public domain a number of years after the creator's death (barring other legal implications). The exact number of years differs from country to country. An image can also be in the public domain if its creator has put it there. Once an image is in the public domain, you can use it any way you want.
