The answer

Photography and video (including mobile phone photography) are permissible if they do not depict something forbidden, because they are a mere capture of a reflection and do not involve imitation of Allah's creation. Nevertheless, it is preferable to avoid them if there is no benefit, as a way of avoiding disagreement. It is better not to keep such images, especially if they rekindle sorrow.
