Citing photographs with multiple contributors?

If a photograph is the product of a creative team (set design, lighting director, costume designer, etc) like in an elaborate print advertisement, and the copyright is held by the advertising agency that produced it, does the agency name come first in the citation (MLA &th edition)? In other words, does the agency name replace the photographer's name as the first part of the citation? Or does the title of the image come first and the agency later?
