Find the approved version
Start with the organiser's contact or the speaker's own public website. Search the image if you need to trace an uncredited file, then compare it with an approved press or biography page.
Prepare for publication
- Confirm that the picture is the correct person and version.
- Check the supplied crop and credit requirements.
- Verify the current title and affiliation separately.
- Keep the source link and permission record.
A headshot found on an old conference site may be accurate historically but no longer be the version the speaker wants used. Its availability does not automatically grant fresh promotional permission.
Avoid a caption mix-up
Do not copy nearby names or job titles without reading their roles. The image credit may name the photographer. A careful source check prevents both attribution errors and outdated biographies while keeping the process focused on public professional information.
Continue with checking source context.
