The photographer without fucking question owns the rights to the photo. It’s not about “rights to yourself,” it’s an artistic rendition of you.
The headline is bullshit. If somebody was paid to do work professionally then there is a contract that stipulated usage and clearly Ozzy violated the contract. Vice’s headline is bait-y nonsense and primes the reader to side with Ozzy in a shamefully flagrant way.
Ozzy as a musician should understand that when you create something it is your piece of art and you get to control how it is distributed. This shouldn’t be that complicated.
Edit: Ozzy didn’t just post some random ass photos. He posted someone else’s professional work without compensation or permission of any kind
So who owns the rights to yourself the photographer or yourself?
