This is already implemented in eBird, with shared checklists. Each photo belongs to a single observer, but a new instance of the observation is created for each observer on the shared checklist. Each of those instances shows the photographer’s photo, with that person’s (photographer’s) name attached. In principle it wouldn’t be thaaaat different from situations where an observation is duplicated to record a different species, with multiple observations referring back to a single image.
