Copyright laws protect photos in magazines, just like any other creative work. The photographer or the magazine usually holds the copyright to the photos, and using them without permission could infringe on their rights. It's best to seek permission or a license before using or reproducing any photos from a magazine.

Each photo has a corresponding agreement between the photographer and the magazine: it might be an employment contract if they're on staff, or a license for that particular photo if they're freelancing. Depending on the language of this agreement, copyright in the photo may belong to the photographer or the publisher.

The image will be protected for the life of the photographer plus 50 or 70 years, depending on the country, and the magazine will be protected as a corporate work (in the US, 95 years).
