It is more cautious to avoid photography. The father's will in this regard should be carried out if its intent is to avoid non-essential photography, based on the hadith: "Is there any righteousness left for me to show my parents after their death?" It states: "Fulfilling their covenants after them." As for the national ID photo, it is a necessity, and there is no obligation to fulfill the father's will to prevent it due to the extreme hardship involved.
