An Atlanta commercial photographer is suing the Georgia Republican Party and Gov.-elect Brian Kemp’s campaign, contending they used a copyrighted photo of Democratic challenger Stacey Abrams in a negative campaign ad without permission.

Photographer Kevin Liles—the team photographer for the Atlanta Braves—said in a complaint filed Thursday in federal court in Atlanta that the GOP and Kemp for Governor campaign infringed his 2017 photo of Abrams. The photograph appeared in The New York Times accompanied by the story, “Young Black Democrats, Eager to Lead From the Left, Eye Runs in 2018.”
