DVD produced - access to sale -- Question

[Miter]

What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? CALIF.

I attended an event that had a slide show with images. At the beginning they announced the DVD would be available for purchase. There would be a card with info at the end of the meeting. There was a professional photographer that made this DVD.

The DVD slide show had many photos of me, and my immediate family and the rest were other family images.

I asked the photographer if I can buy it, she said she was hired by a certain person and she would not sell it to me. She did not have the cards with the info and said we would have to contact the person that hired her (the photographer). We contacted that person and they said that there was another person that was handling it....

My question, if the DVD has my images and I did not authorize that those images could be produced to be sold, shouldn't I be able to purchase it directly from the photographer that made it, and if she refuses, ask for my images to be removed?

What is the law about this type of product. Does a person need to provide access to the people in the DVD to buy it?

Not if the photographer no longer owns the rights.

and if she refuses, ask for my images to be removed?

Yes, you can ask.
