I'm not saying that's the case here, but whether the use was commercial or not is one of the four factors considered when deciding fair use.
- pdonis 14y agoI don't think "commercial" requires you to "make money" from the use. I think using the photo as an illustration on your business website qualifies as "commercial" even if you can't show that it brought you any business. (Of course, IANAL.)
- Natsu 14y agoThere are different degrees "commercial." It's not a binary distinction.
