What permissions are needed to use a celebrity photograph?

Every photograph taken of a celebrity or a model is copyright. To use a photograph of a celebrity or model you have to have permissions from either the celebrity or model them-self, their manager or the photographer. You may even need permission from all three. You would usually need to pay these people to use their photograph as-well. If you use the photograph without permission you could face being sued for a lot of money. You can sometimes use photographs without permission if the photographs are creative commons. This means that the photograph has no copyright, therefore you would not need to go through the hassle of trying to get permission.
