I use the camera a lot with and without the tripod. In this save I play two Sims and they sell their pictures in their retail store. They have taken lots of pictures and my game never froze. They sell 20-40 pictures a day. They have been all over different neighborhoods taking photos to sell. Not any freezing for me.
I didn't have any problems until the last patch. It was weird as it wasn't frozen but none of the buttons and options worked suddenly and it just did it at random. Since nothing worked, I had to force the game closed and hadn't tried photography since. I started a new game so maybe that would make a difference.

Hi, I just had this issue 10mn ago, having everything installed including the latest patch from September 5. I had heard about it all over reddit so I waited to get Moschino with the hope that they had it fixed with this patch, but it seems they have not :( ...
They haven’t fixed it. I lost my whole save file last week because it kept freezing. Restarted my console, got back in and it gave me a save error.
I’m playing it today on a new save file (lost everything last week) and used the tripod— froze again! I called EA and they told me it’s an issue with the console and not the game. Yeah right...
The same thing happened to me as well, after switching a few poses, the game will freeze, and there is nothing I can do but to force quit everything without saving. It happened once to me during a huge wedding with two of my sims in the pictures, and another time in a nightclub with three sims in frame. I always save my game before taking pictures with the tripod now, just in case.
This just happened to me as well. I had taken pictures of several sims with no problems and suddenly, it freezes. Exactly the same issues as the OP. I could click the close buttons, the camera buttons, the filters, everything, but nothing happened. Also, the hot keys to open the cheat windows, exit the camera, take photos, nothing would work. Tried several tricks, like switching between programs to see if I could get it to shock back to life. Finally gave up and shut it down using the task manager. Recreated this same problem 6 different times, with 3 different single sims. I have no mods, all packs. This problem was done with the cheap digital camera and also the camera on my sim's phone. I've been saving right before taking the photos, but it's still frustrating.
I tried this career when I got the pack this week and my game didn't freeze, I also have no mods or cc, but every time I took pictures my game would lag and I felt like it was seconds from freezing or crashing. The career itself also seems kind of bugged so I quit it. Wish they'd do something with it I was so excited for that. Guess that's what a stuff pack career is.
This just happened to me last night. I lost about five hours of gameplay and was not amused! I used to use the automatic save with mccc but it somehow got switched off.
I recently got Moshino for the photography stuff, and have played it for about a week absolutely fine. And then I got complacent, and it froze my game Luckily I only missed a sim day because I'd saved not too long before, but I had aged up my toddler and completely redocorated her room, and I lost it all
So I'm wary about photography now, and will make sure I save each time before I'm about to take more photos.

I found no way to turn it off!
