The technical answer is no, you cannot use someone's picture for advert purposes without their permission, particularly if they're the copyright holder of such image. 

However, if the image was gotten on a stock image site which let you use the image either freely or for a fee, then yes, you can. 

Otherwise, hire an attorney to properly advise you on your specific situation. 

Hope this helps.
