Question on copyright and discussing books and artists

Topics: art photos, book photos, copyright
Hi, Does anyone know if you need permission to post a photo you took of a book cover and an inside page of a book you are reviewing or discussing?
Also, if you are discussing an artist, how do you get permission to post a photo of their work, especially if they're not alive?
Thanks!

We just post the following on our sites. As long as you are not selling the photos, or using them to make money, you should be OK!
