Speculating, but Apple wanted to make sure that the only people photographed using the headset were models and actors who are very attractive. That way whenever a news outlet runs a story about it, they have to use the picture of the attractive/cool people using it, and people make an association that the headset makes people attractive/cool.

Telling journalists that their young colleague is allowed to have their picture taken but they cannot because they're too old and frumpy doesn't sound like a good way to get positive coverage for your product. Easier to forbid pictures of anybody using it than to make a policy of judging journalists by their physical appearance.
