Re: Copyright
In further support of the previous attorneys response, you'll need to be aware of the potential problem involving using another persons photo/image for monetary gain.

Re: privacy right
Not copyright. Privacy law, or in New York, the Civil rights law, prohibits the use of a person's picture without their permission, if the picture makes it appear the person is endorsing a position.
