There is no harm in photographing women if the photos are circulated only among women and it is safe from men seeing them. However, if the photos are broadcast on public websites where men can see them, then photographing is not permissible, because it assists in spreading these photos and looking at them. Allah Almighty said: "And do not cooperate in sin and aggression. And fear Allah; indeed, Allah is severe in penalty."
