Proper authorization?

Is this infringement upon the business's image, portrayal of being employed with said company, or is it legalities of using a photo without authorization? It is using unauthorized photos. Meaning the individual does not have permission from Resurrection Dance Company; RDC {shall be known as RDC} to use the photo. See the pictures here.
The person in the photos can have damage done to their reputation as a professional, thus making it very challenging to achieve work in the chosen field. Employers who would consider hiring said individual might have a problem with ethical behaviour; also gaining trust, and upholding privacy issues of business's {using a photo without consent}.
{As you can see, the above picture is affiliated with RDC and Wenda L. Koon. Yet, here is someone else pictured in the same outfit.}

For reference, when a person signs a document stating that a business owns property of potential employees; that means you no longer own that picture, video, ectera. The only way around this is if the business gives you permission.
