You (or was it your brother?) signed a contract with the photographer. What
does the contract say? The courts will probably enforce the contract unless
its provisions are illegal. If the contract doesn't mention copyright (and
I'll bet it does), I believe that it probably stays with the photographer. But
this may vary in different states. Find a reputable lawyer, and he'll tell you
whether the law is on your side. If you can't accept the answer, maybe you
should have read the contract before you signed it.
