It depends on which country you are in. In general, you own the copyright unless you have assigned it to someone else. On the other hand, some countries such as France have privacy laws which might make it illegal to publish the photo if the people are identifiable. Printing it on a t-shirt would

This is not a copyright issue. It would be considered a commercial (even if the t-shirt was a one off) use of someone's image without permission. This is a clear case where a model release would be needed to legally use the photo that way. The only possible way around a release is if the
