I'm debating that, while it could fall under that, they are shooting the photo's with a commercial interest. I don't know if that changes things or not in the eyes of the Feds. They seem to be going after everything now.
Honestly the best people to ask might just be the local FSDO, especially since they would be the ones making the determination anyways. I would hate to see internet gab get someone in trouble just because it "sounded good".
