There is no specific phobia meaning the fear of photographs, Photography or cameras. The closest match may be Eisoptrophobia, the fear of seeing oneself in the mirror, which may also translate to a fear of being photographed. Scopophobia, Scoptophobia or Ophthalmophobiamay apply if the fear is that of being seen or stared at (presumably by the subject of the photo).
Contrary to popular belief, the fear of photographs or being photographed is NOT "photophobia." Photophobia refers to a physical symptom in which a person's eyes are uncomfortably over-sensitive to light, and is not an anxiety disorder.
