(OP)
when startin your own practice and setting up a website, how do you go about posting images of projects that show your experience?
permission from the owner?
permission from your former employer?
what if you were the EOR? what if you weren't the EOR but the lead designer and project manager?

The conversation ended there, but may resume. The pictures in question were originally taken, by me, with my equipment, on off hours (personal time) and then sent to the owners while I was in their employ. I do indicate that the project was done while working for them.
We still have a good relationship and I expect that to continue. However, if push came to shove I would demand photo credit for my pics used on their website. But I don't see that happening. I worked for reasonable upstanding people.

Here is a good article on Web Pages That Suck on adding Why You Can't Use Music
On Your Web Site. This would apply to any graphics that are not yours, and that you are not explicitly authorized to use.

I asked this very question of my previous firm when I left to start my business, and they told me that I couldn't use pictures of their projects.
Although now that I think about it, they told me that I couldn't use pictures I'd taken back then of their projects, presumably because the pictures themselves were intellectual property of the previous company. I suppose this does mean that I could go out to one of those projects today, snap a photo, and stick it on a website, huh?
