In the US, there are some contexts where permission is required. First, if you are commercially exploiting a person's image, then permission is required: this is about civil personality rights (which in California are also recognized statutorily). That doesn't seem applicable here. The other is "video voyerism", which is a federal crime, and that is about posting pictures of someone's privates, which I also assume is not applicable here.
