Not making judgement on your comment but judgement on this issue.
Personally, I don't think just taking a photo of a person is creative work as it has little intellectual, creative, or artistic value. These are the premises which copyright was formed to protect.
As a side note, it would be interesting to understand what conditions this photo was taken under, if it was taken with or without permission, and whether it was taken on private or public property.

It seems one would have to be unaware of the challenges of lighting, shutter speed, lens distance, color grading, editing and much more to believe that.
- iAMAGuest 9y agoyet walking down the street and taking a picture of Kevin Spacey walking on the other side of the street is also copyright'ed. There is no artistic form in that, there is no creativity, or even intellectual effort. To clarify my previous comment a little more, "I don't think "simply" taking a photo of a person is creative work". But I also are aligned with you somewhat, that when there is effort there is creative work.
