Under Facebook's current terms (which can change at anytime), by posting your pictures and videos you grant Facebook “a non-exclusive, transferable, sub-licensable, royalty-free, worldwide license to use any [IP] content that you post on or in connection with Facebook (“IP License”).
Send a direct message to the Facebook user who posted the photo and request permission. If permission is not granted, it's simple, you can not use it. If it is granted, obtain the permission in writing and pay for the use.
