I'm not so sure that this situation isn't slightly more complicated. I work for a large studio with seven other photographers. The copyright to any work we produce doesn't belong to us as individuals, but to our employer. This also applies to any freelance photographers we have working for us. The important point here is whether this other photographer worked for the school directly ie did he invoice separately to Nathan, or was he a "subcontractor" of Nathan's, ie did Nathan invoice for the whole job and then pay the other photographer himself. If the second was the case then Nathan owns the copyright to all the images. At least that's the way I understand the law to apply.
