It has always seemed very weird to me that people have absolutely no legal claim on their own faces. As long as you’re in public anyone who takes photos of you has complete ownership and control over the images. Even if the images only have value because the subject is famous, they’re treated as if their value was created solely by the photographer. There’s something innately wrong with that.

It’s even worse in the case of cosplayers.
