It is strongly recommended that one should not use someone else’s private photos in any advertisement without their permission. Whenever possible, it's best to obtain clear consent from the person whose photograph you intend to use. Additionally, take caution when using digitized images of people and ensure appropriate measures have been taken - such as proper photo manipulation or digital avatars - to secure the subject’s anonymity, whenever applicable.

One way to use someone else's private photos in an advertisement without their permission is through a process known as ‘stock photo,’ which involves purchasing the license to use photos from stock image websites. This can be done legally and without consent, as long as the right permissions and licenses are obtained. It may also be possible to gain permission from the original photographer or subject, who may receive money or other benefits for the usage of their images. Best practices involve verifying that images have all necessary permissions prior to using them in an ad campaign, as well as ensuring that subjects are not identifiable in any way – for example, by wearing a mask or otherwise obscuring features such as eyes or facial recognition marks. Additionally, it is important not to misrepresent anything about the image—for example don’t claim it was taken recently when it was actually taken many years ago—to prevent being caught out later.
