Legal Question in Business Law in New York

First, one needs to determine whether you hold the rights to those pictures. This would have to be done based on an agreement you may have had with the model, payment terms, creative input etc.

If you are the rights holder then you should consider sending the other photographer a cease and desist letter demanding him to take down the photos and asking for damages. The other option is to go to court and seek a temporary order to take down the photographs. In addition, you should consider registering your copyrights with the copyright office as this will allow you to claim damages in a potential litigation.

Needless to say that you should retain an attorney to handle the matter as cease and desist letters often don't get the proper attention if not directed by an attorney.
