Unless you have a union agreement or employment contract that prohibits this action, I'm afraid that you will have to participate. The fat is that most employment arrangement are "at will". This means that a company can set the conditions of employment much as it sees fit. Your recourse here would be to either have your photo taken, miss the shoot and risk termination, or quit now (instead of later).
