In the good old pre-digital photography days the subject might take the film home and develop it in his own darkroom doing whatever would be needed to improve the picture. He would at least merit joint authorship. Who owned the original negative was influential in determining the outcome.
Actually, that's a good point. If the person pictured in the photo set up the scene, and it isn't a work for hire, then it might very well be a joint work... In which case either owner is independently able to license the photo under any free license (but permission of both would be needed to release it into the public domain).
