Sorry Emmanuel, I didnt do English at school extensively, could you please rephrase this statement?
"But, as a reminder: the owner of the copyright of a photography is the "photograph", not the subject who is photographed."
You have written on Yann's talk page https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Yann#copyright_whatever
"Those images were explicitly emailed to me from the celebs.", a sentence which sounds like an argument proving that this is OK for you to put them online on commons.wikimedia.org.
But, in a normal case, the celebrity does not have any right on these pictures. The photograph who has shot the picture owns the copyright, not the celebrity.
