Praise be to Allah.
The most correct view is that making photographic images comes under the general prohibition of making images of animate beings. The matter is more serious if the picture is of a woman (and men look at it) because of the fitnah and evil involved in that. The fact that people will be angry does not make these haraam things permissible. The anger of Allaah is that which most deserves to be feared. If Allaah knows that His slave is sincere, He will be with him. The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “Whoever seeks to earn the pleasure of Allaah even though that makes people angry, Allaah will be pleased with him and will make the people pleased with him.”
