Pick a navaid, fix, or a intersection near the intended spot you wish to photograph and request following out to that and back. For example, say you want to fly to the Montauk lighthouse on Long Island for photos. When you check on with App. tell them you are requesting flight following to CCC (calverton) which is a VOR on the east end of LI, that will get you within a few miles of your intended location (Montauk). If they request what you are doing once there state that you will practice some maneuvers and return to KPNE. The military files IFR like this all the time.

Our computer system knows where all fixes etc. are located, as long as you give me something near where you want to go I can provide the services you require.

Hope that helps...
