I wrote a massive post over this and then figured that no one would read it so lets go for simple.

Public place = likely photographer can get away with it (like on the street and the photo would have to be documentary, like a news report)

Private place = not so likely, they snap you in your back garden in a private environment, that's invasion of privacy. Unless at a massive stretch they can argue 'public interest', which mainly applies to celebrities that sell them-selves on an image principal.

Burlesque starlet on stage = complex. In a public place, for a news feature then they stand a good chance of publishing. If they want to sell it to a 3rd party for advising with-out a modelling release, then they are on the wrong side of the law as I understand it. The photographer does still own the copyright on the 'work of art', but your representation with-out consent in association with a product or event would certainly cause legal problems for the photographer.

If you know more I would love to find out, I know the BWI has a very skilled photography sub community.
