Some time ago we had these cultures from far away places, believing that having their picture taken you stole a part of their soul.
Now if you believe that we are broadcasting energy all the time, why not assume that when you take a picture of someone it is like taking a snapshot of his energy and the refusal from those natives would make sense.
Nowadays it seems to be quite the opposite...the more pictures are taken from a person, the more his self-battery becomes loaded with energy...and therefore contributing to this process by taking photos of himself as often as possible.
I'm not sure that it will work that way. Looks to me like wanting to catch the guy in front of you while riding on a merry-go-round.
May be you better step down and find your own way...practising what you like doing the most and you will get lucky.
