Another thing comes to mind : some tribes have a legend saying that taking

And there you might hit upon more than you would think. I believe that the
idea of a photo stealing a soul lived among tribes of native Americans as
Gwendal pointed out. If you know Mike Banks' background there may very well
be a connection there to the refusal of being photographed.
