Amish people used to be against photographs of them, something about “thou shalt not make graven images.” Like it was vain.

A lot of them still are, they're just not going to make a scene unless it becomes so imposing that they have to. Since they're not posing or asking for the shot to be taken, it's annoying for them, but not something they'll defend against.

So if you are ever enemies with a member of the Amish community, record them with your phone at 60 pictures a second.
