Why don't people care about self-determination/bodily autonomy when its "just a photo"? This can viewed as a Consent issue.

Serious question --- if you consider the point of view of somebody like OP, who wishes he had more photos to help him remember and reflect on time he spent with his cherished now-deceased loved one, vs. your brief discomfort at having to stand in place for under a minute, and briefly have to contemplate the uncomfortable fact that you exist and are perceived by other people ----- OP wins. Every time. Consent plays no part in this, and if you honestly bring that up as a reason to finagle out of a class, family, or friendgroup photo, you are not only being very disingenuous but revealing a very diseased view of everyday life.

But let me propose a ridiculous situation that follows a similar idea. Let's say I'm a vegan and my family wants to go to a bullfighting show or something along those lines to "make memories". Am I an ass for refusing to go because the situation makes me uncomfortable just because other people want me there? If not am I then an ass if I don't want to pose next to the dead bull with my family? It's just a picture after all.
