Most google images have a website attached to the bottom (actually I think they all do) and they will have a copyright disclosure at the bottom of the website if you follow the link. Usually something to the lines of "all rights reserved." Photographers of models are very very particular as well making most model sign rights to their use or limited use. Even if a model post a picture to Facebook that a photographer took of her, the image itself is usually owned by the photographer or purchaser of those rights.

This is where the intellectual property of Brav's models images comes in as well.

I learned this the hard way some years ago promoting an event with images I pulled off the web for flyers (some are allowed depending on disclosure). I was sued for copyright infringement of the event and settled after speaking to my lawyer. Same case here. Any unauthorized use of intellectual property that I own is infringement. Quite frankly my wife's pictures are my property legally and can not be used without my consent.
