Find original photo

Hi guys I have a picture I can't seem to paste it to this post. Anyway it's of a child chucking a tantrum an would like to use it for my bosses book but we cannot find where it came from anywhere! I've used tiny eye but it only brings up other sites that have used the photo. I have scrolled through 1000s of pages on free photo sites but cannot find it. Any ideas??? Thanks

    This is a hard problem and generally results in IP becoming unusable. You can try looking at the exif data to see if there are any hints, but it is a long shot.

    Hi guys I have a picture I can't seem to paste it to this post.

    Post a link to one of the websites that uses it.

    Also, try google image search (from experience, it returns more hits than TinEye)…
    http://images.google.com.au/

    Lastly, look for a common description/title for the photo from the websites that use it, and then do a search using that description together with "copyright" to see if the photo is subject to copyright (which may lead you to the original).
