    As far as I know you have two options:

    1. You include a disclaimer that says "all attempts to contact the people depicted in this picture have been made". This used to be standard procedure but these days I'm not if that legally stands any more.

    2. You hybridise the face by altering features and including a different mouth, different eyes or something, so that it no longer accurately represents any given person. Sounds like a nightmare I know but with the right source imagery and better than average retouching skills its easily acheivable. You just have to make it different enough that the person can't claim to have had their face exploited for commercial gain.
