I had to jump through hoops to get a copy of a photograph of a person who died in 1930 from Sam's Club. They were actually considering having me bring in his death certificate. The time period of protection is 75 years for photographs. I think the protection should expire when the photo studio is no longer in business or 75 years whichever comes first.
