As I wrote GP:-

Photographs of personal keris are anathema. In Javanese culture such requests are invariably refused.

In collector culture, quite the opposite is true.

Just because somebody is ethnically Javanese, this does not at all mean that they follow the dictates of Javanese tradition or culture.

Just because somebody has a Javanese name, or perhaps looks Javanese this does not mean that they are ethnically Javanese.

My teachers were old school, traditional Javanese.

I personally prefer to accept that which these people taught me than that of which I might find evidence upon the internet.

Others are free to observe whatever standards they might wish to observe.
