How old must a book be before it is public domain?

It depends upon where it was published, when, the nationality and residence of the author and what copyright formalities were in effect at the time. For example, a book published prior to 1923 in the USA has no US copyright. A book published in the USA by a US author in 1923 with copyright notice and renewal is copyrighted for 95 years. A book published in 1972 without copyright notice never had any copyright. A book written in 1899 but NOT published has copyright until 120 years after creation.

How does Copyright Law affect use of photographs?

The person who snapped the photograph (or their employer, if they were hired to take photos) would automatically own the copyright. On certain "works made for hire" the client would be considered the author, but only if there were a written contract. Unless a person owns the copyright or has a license or statutory exemption, the use of any copyrighted photograph is restricted by federal laws of over 160 countries. You cannot generally copy, publish, distribute copies, make derivative works, upload/post or download copyrighted photographs without a license from the copyright owners. However, copyright on many photos has expired (e.g., anything published prior to 1923, published in the USA before 1963 without copyright renewal, etc) or never existed (e.g., works of the US government, works published prior to 1989 without proper copyright notice).
