An interesting fiction about a photographer is called Picture Palace by Paul Theroux, I read it many years ago and have a suspicion that it is a biography in disguise of a famous and now deceased portraitist and fashion photographer.

You might want to take a look at the Robert Capa biographies. He doinked his way around the world, even with really famous women.
