I think it's something you agree to upfront and would bet that it's in every decent photog's contract..."who owns the rights".

If you are a model...and an agency takes your photo...somewhere in your contract I'd bet the agency owns it...even though it's a pic of you.....so if you happen to have a copy, you can not just go sell it to another agency...it does not belong to you even though it's "of you"....unless that's what it says in the Contract.

We have on occasion had to do things with our wedding pics (example..we had one made into a charm for a charm braclet)....the store asked for a release...and our photog was more than happy to give one.
