Just a nit picking correction. The creator of a work (photo, a piece
of writing, etc) always own copyright Unless the photographer took
the photo as your employee or explicitly transferred copyright (as in
a work for hire contract or by selling you the copyright), the
photographer owns the photo. Illustrators often sell copyright, but
photographers are more likely to keep the copyright and license a
limited, clearly defined use.
There are lots of accessible books on copyright law.
