Copyright of photos is always a tricky subject that I could never get my head around. What about the folks in the photo, would they also not be copyright holders as well of the photo as they are part of the creation. Even tricker is if the photos contains items that are copyrighted, how is this dealt with?
Mix them with copyright by photographers (and now apparently by developers if we're to believe some in this thread) and you can feed a pack of lawyers for years.
I'm torn between whether it's more entertaining or more frustrating to watch programmers argue about copyrights, particularly when their arguments are a priori, and premised on a misunderstanding of how the laws actually work.
