The answer

A man's wife's sisters are temporarily forbidden to him, so it is not permissible to be in seclusion with them, or to mix with them, or to travel with them, or to look at them as one would look at a mahram. What happened, taking commemorative photos with them, is not permissible. These photos must be destroyed because they lead to looking at those whom it is not permissible to look at. Taking photographic pictures is a matter of dispute among scholars, and it is better to avoid it.
