::::Thanks, {{u|Gråbergs Gråa Sång}}, that makes sense. Could you clarify which person holds the copyright? The person taking the photo or the subject in the photo? Assuming the person the has the copyright would be the one that needs to upload it. And is it permissible for me to then put the photo on the page once it is accepted as an approved image? Just trying ensure I follow proper procedures, as to date I have not done anything with photos, just text edits.

:::::@[[User:CosmicNotes|CosmicNotes]] Basic rule: Copyright is a pain in the ass, in the WP-environment. In many (most?) jurisdictions, the photographer is the copyrightholder. But this can change through some sort of legal agreement. So ''we'' don't know, presumably Harry Markopolos does. The simple solution from "our" POV is that the subject takes a new selfie and uploads it themselves. The upload link I gave you is to [https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Main_Page Wikimedia Commons], a sister-project to WP where we keep "free" images. You should check it out, you can use everything there on WP. So yes, once it's there, you can use it.
