Sometimes, I want to look back at photos of the woman I’m seeing—not just when it comes to papa-katsu (compensated dating in Japan). The woman I met here and am currently dating has already left the club, so all I can really see is her LINE profile picture.

Would she be put off if I asked her to send me some photos?

It depends on how close you are.
If you’re close enough to travel together, how about asking her to take a commemorative photo with you at your destination?

I’m a man in my 60s and at a bit of a loss.
I don’t think simply asking her to send you photos will work.
You need to invite her by saying something like, “I’d like to treat you to a photo shoot with a popular photographer known for couple portraits. Would you like to have some solo photos taken?”
Even if she leaves the site, if you can still stay in touch, she’ll probably be open to the idea.
Then, without you having to ask, she’ll likely start sending you photos saying, “Look at this one!” and so on.
Take the long way around, and don’t be stingy with what you offer in return.
Her private photos can come later… (笑)

I’m Maezawa from the CEO’s office, and I’ll answer this one too.
Timing probably matters as well. If she happens to mention something like, “I went to [some place] with a friend the other day,” that’s your chance.
You could say, “What was it like? I’d love to see some photos.” She’ll probably show them to you.
Another option is to take the photos yourself.
The Canon EOS R3 is scheduled to go on sale in late November, so you could reserve one now (if you don’t reserve it, you may not be able to buy one on release day) and purchase the RF 85mm F1.2 lens as well.
Then, if you bring it up by saying, “I bought a camera recently. With the lens, it cost over a million yen, though…” she might let you take her photos.
By the way, this lens isn’t ideal for indoor use, so you might want to prepare something around 28–70mm F2.0 for indoors. However, that lens is quite large, so I’m a little concerned about whether you’ll be able to handle it.
The 85mm F1.2 is large too, but I think it’s still manageable.

There’s something refreshingly liberating about having “nothing left in your hands” when a relationship ends.
If the memories fade, then I suppose they were only that meaningful to begin with.

Many women aren’t comfortable with it, so if you’re close, I think it would be a good idea to take a day trip together and get a photo of the two of you.

I agree with Kazu’s opinion. You should assume she probably won’t like it.
If you’ve been seeing each other for a long time and he hasn’t sent you anything even once, that makes it seem even more likely.

If you’re on good terms, they’ll normally send you messages without you having to ask.
They’ll also send you pictures from their side—wearing a kimono or yukata, going somewhere, doing something, and so on.

Some girls may not be comfortable with it. If you ask over LINE or another messaging app, there’ll be a written record, so it’s better not to. Instead, ask when you’re together: “Could you send me some photos?” If she seems uncomfortable, just drop it right away.
Try bringing it up naturally in conversation, such as:
“I went to the beach—it was beautiful.”
“Nice! Let me see some pictures.”
Something along those lines.
