Since this was a commercial operation for-profit the likesness rights argument could indeed apply. But lets keep in mind that it only makes sense within this context. It does not apply more broadly to non-commercial activities by people. The defamation claim seems unfounded since there is no claim these are actually photos of the person(s) involved. In fact they are certainly not photos and just synthetic generated images.
