Voodoo describes a set of spiritual folkways which originated from African traditions. Magic and superstition have surrounded photography from the beginning. Because of the way it captured the image, especially of living people, the camera was widely believed to cause death or illness or to steal the soul. http://www.answers.com/topic/magic-and-superstition#ixzz306XI5JMN

Practitioners of Voodoo believe in “sympathetic magic”. Sympathetic magic principles state a powerful link exists between entities that are similar in appearance or come into contact with each other. Items such as photographs, nail clippings, hair and other objects may be used to create an “image” of another person. This “image” may be used to cast a curse or spell. For this reason, there are some practitioners of Voodoo who are cautious of photographs, as they are powerful items capable of harm.http://parabolicevidence.com/occult/the-religious-belief-that-a-photograph-can-steal-a-soul/
