Use of image on a published work

[Amadeus]

Hi there,

I am an actor living in Queensland, Australia.
About a year ago I performed in an amateur production by a local playwright which has now been published. The cover of the script features a photo of myself which I was not consulted about, nor was I given any sort of mention.

Is this grounds for legal action? Thanks in advance.

Presumably, you don't own copyright in the image that was used?

 

[Amadeus]

No, I don't. It's simply an image that was taken of me and is now being used on the cover of a published script being sold without any credit or mention.

Thanks for any advice you might be able to give.

Plain reality is, you don't have any copyright (or any other kind of right...) in your own image.
I don't see where you have anywhere to go with this.
