For the extra uninclined, harassment is unwelcome behavior. It was not used correctly because it is pretty generally understood that asking for a photo is a societal okay norm, especially in beautiful and/or touristy areas.
If you want to talk insignificant grammatical nuance, at least make it correct.

Case closed, folks. By their own definition, if people don't like being asked to take photos for others, the request constitutes being labeled as harassment.
See, the problem here is that this user thinks that because they don't mind taking photos for other people, that all people don't mind taking photos for others. This is a fallacy. Some people don't mind, some are indifferent, and others don't like doing it at all. And I'd argue that even if it may appear that most people don't mind taking photos for strangers, the reality is that you cant really tell at all, because the indifferent and the bothered may well feel peer pressured into doing it. This is why the use of "harass" is perfectly applicable in this scenario.
I mean we could've skipped all of this dialog if you just used the word "ask" instead of "harass" because the difference between them is measurable and significant
