At least in the USA: You absolutely can control the distribution of your likeness if it wasn't taken in public.

Photos of you in public can't be controlled because you have no reasonable expectation of privacy in public. If someone takes a picture of you privately, even if not for commercial purposes, you can absolutely control the use of that image unless you release it.
