Maybe - some phones make it challenging, some are easy.  Dig into the manual, 
or 
figure out if the data is embedded with your photo and see if that data changes 
or goes away when you change the setting.

My cell phone (Verizon /Motorola) has a menu item saying Location on/off 
which means I can urn my location on or off - for 911 purposes IIRC.

I wonder if that does the same thing you mentioned with photos?

Speaking of posting pictures, FYI most gps-enabled cell phones (i.e.
Blackberries, i-phones, etc) will geo-tag pictures with the location the 
picture
was taken.  If the photographer then shares that photo on-line, they've also
posted the date/time and location of the photo.  Folks with privacy (or 
OPSEC)
considerations might not like to have such info in the public domain, where
nefarious intentions can lead to bad results.
