It’s worth reading if you are using the photographs commercially to still be aware of some limitations regarding identifiable persons and trademarked products and logos. Certain images may also be subjected to additional copyrights and trademarks. This would require consent of a third party or the suitable license of these rights. An example of this is when British retailer TopShop used an image of Rihanna on a t-shirt. They had the rights to use the image, but did not obtain her permission to use her face, she successfully sued them. If unsure always be safe and seek legal advice.
