The famous search tool included in Google allows you to find photos based on the terms entered and perform reverse searches.

Then wait a few moments, and the service will offer you a series of photos similar to the one you uploaded ( Visually identical images ), plus links to web pages that contain an exact copy. Try to identify the one that interests you most and click on it, to get more information.

Google will then show you all the web pages that contain the image you have selected, just as seen a few lines plus you act with the images loaded from your computer. Simple, right?
