Many years ago, I hired a professional photographer for a private event, and an author (who is a friend) was photographed. He was a major part of the event, so I'm positive he knows he was photographed.

I have legal right to use the photographs and own the negatives. Is it acceptable to post the photo? The photographer has since retired, so I can attribute the photo, but there is no website, etc.

Feel free to point me to an existing thread if this question has been answered.

Thanks!

Since you hold the rights, sure--you can post it. Be sure to mention that you hold the rights and give permission for its use on LT in the "justification" section.
