A: Good afternoon. This is a difficult query as we may need additional context to better understand why the co-worker was taking pictures of you. You certainly will want to consider bringing this to the attention of your human resources and reporting it as it could be deemed harassment in some form and also a violation of the privacy policies of your employer. I wish you well in your search for a resolution.
