It seems silly for architects to even want this. They would be undermining themselves! Would the Eiffel Tower be nearly as famous as it is if only approved/licensed photographers were allowed to photograph it? Would I even care who Frank Gehry is if photos of his buildings were not appearing in my Facebook feed and findable on Google, Wikipedia, etcetera? Is not getting your building "out there," as widely as possible, a success metric for an architect?
