*I'm not a legal professional nor this is legal advice*
A lot of photographers work very differently. Some commercial freelance photographers, especially the non-professional photographers, do not charge for licensing or copyright usage. And some, especially the professional photographers, charge for using their intellectual property (IP), aka copyrighted images, of their work.

Each
shutter (time when the button is hit on the camera) is a creation of a
copyrighted image from the person whom owns that camera. In the U.S. there are basically
2 different types of copyrights, 1 that is registered with the copyright office
and another that isn't. Both have very different protections, and obviously the
one that is registered has a lot more protection of the cases there are any infringements.
