Have you tried contacting the photographer about this?

Hi James, Not really on-topic in here but it's interesting. And I can confirm that if you assign and pay someone to create something for you, the delivered product is your property including all intelligent rights. Now the problem is, how you are going to get your rights. Sending a lawyer on him will probably cost you more than you can gain from this, not only financially but also emotionally, after all, you will have to deal with lawyers and judges for at least the next 6 months of your life. All I can say about that is: don't do it, stay happy and healthy and use your money for better things. Just don't work with this photographer anymore and try to get an explicit confirmation from photographers you work with in the future that they understand and accept your TOS, for example let them write in their own words that the photos will be your full intelligent property and that they can't and won't sell copies of them themselves.
