I didn't want to bring up the parody exception because it can get quite involved, however I had a feeling someone might mention it.
In this case, the paradoy defense would only apply if you were making fun of the photographers work, and not him himself or the agency he works for.
In order for the paradoy defense to apply in the case of a photochop, you would have to be making fun of the photographers style, i.e. exposure, lighting, angle, setting, position, pose, etc. Otherwise, if you're using his work to make fun of a 3rd party, its would still likely be considered copyright infringement.
