No. What's needed is:
- A copy of the GFDL. For web uses, a link to the GFDL is generally
accepted as complying with this.
- The preservation of any copyright notices, and of the notice that
the thing is available under the GFDL.
The situation is slightly different if using a modified version, but that's not usually the case when photos are used.
That's highly unrealistic, especially for print media. A link to the source is about as much as can be sensibly expected.
