Copyright law and the duration of copyright, varies somewhat from country to country. International treaties set a duration of the life of the creator plus 50 years. In the US it is life plus 70 years. There are different terms for works made for hire - that is, by an employee of a firm.
Copyright law applies to photographs as well as written works, regardless of the purpose or use of the item.
Because copyright law has changed over the years, copyright status may be different for older photographs and for different countries at different times.

How long does a copyright last now versus when copyright were originally set?
The first modern copyrights were for 14 or 21 years, depending on whether the work was created before or after the law took effect. The first US copyrights were for 14 years and renewable for another 14 years if the creator was still alive. Current copyright is for the life of the creator plus 70 years, which has the potential to be 10 times longer than the original 14-year term. Some copyrights on unpublished works in the USA last 120 years, whereas those works were completely without copyright until 1976.
