-on some phones you can override the airplane mode for cell service
-sim card removal will guarantee there is no roaming service
-you do know that a camera will give you better quality than a phone.

If you only want the phone for taking pictures... leave the phone at home and bring a camera.
Beware of Apple pickers when taking pictures....

As xl mentioned, airplane mode generally will prevent you from accruing roaming charges. However various phones and apps may at times over-ride those settings (often times you will be prompted though). So the only sure way is to remove the sim-card as previously mentioned.

And may well be less attractive to those who would remove a cell phone from your posession.
