I think you are right. Certain types of images you can't even copyright as they do not meet the standard as a work of copyrightable material.

  What might those types of images be, and what statute entitles you to use them?

    "Familiar symbols or designs" depending on the country, wording may vary. https://research.ncsu.edu/nctc/study-guide/infrastructure/regulatory-compliance/intellectual-property/ https://research.ncsu.edu/nctc/study-guide/infrastructure/re... (Standard disclaimer: I am not a lawyer)

      That says the symbols themselves can't be copyrighted, so that for instance you can't go after someone for photographing or painting a stop sign. It does not say that photographs of familiar symbols and designs can't be copyrighted.
