The photographer who snapped the image claims the supermodel had no right to post it and is infringing on his copyright, according to Manhattan Federal Court papers.

Brooklyn shutterbug Timur Mishiev is seeking unspecified damages.

Kim Kardashian is facing a similar lawsuit, after a photographer accused her of copyright infringement for posting a photo he took of her and husband Kanye West without permission.
