And who's taking photos around a scared, nervous, spell slinging mortal wizard? Susan was 50 yards away or so, and still the image came out blurry and almost useless. Regardless, a hidden camera is a more logical option.

The text from Dead Beat suggests otherwise.

That he saw her but didn't realize who it was. And considering that she's known for veils, and someone was hidden in the room taking photos, it makes sense.

He saw Mavra with the Sight before at Bianca's party, though. She looked exactly like herself. And Mavra probably figured there from complimenting him on seeing her when she didn't wish to be seen that the Sight detects her despite a veil (if she wasn't aware of that limitation of veils already). If it was her personally taking the photographs used for blackmail, she has the speed to easily stay out of Harry's line of sight while he's playing 'spot the Renfield'.

And yet we have Harry saying someone was moving around the room unseen, presumably using a veil. That same person would have to be extremely good at veils, working for Mavra to supply her with the photos, and hereto unheard of.
Or, it was her.
Looking at it logically, it being Mavra is the most likely scenario. Given that she would have been aware of Harry using his Sight to detect Renfields (he all but announced as much to the others), the most logical place to stand is behind a creature with a hulking Sight appearance that would complicate what Harry was seeing. And the only reason he saw either image was because he left his Sight up too long and reflexively looked when he heard a sound.
Her counting on all her speed and power while being suppressed by McCoy seems unlikely. She was probably using all the power at her disposal to stay hidden and get the job done.

He was suppressing her from just killing them with dark sorcery, not from moving fast enough to stay behind Harry. Super-speed is just a physical stat for blamps.
Which was kind of a waste of McCoy's abilities, since assuming the photos were her handiwork (and I agree with you that's the most likely option), she had a perfectly good opportunity to shank Harry, Murph and Kincaid with her choice of sword or firearm, and she didn't take it. The entire visit to Chicago with the failed assassination attempts was just bait to get Harry to come provide her a chance to take the blackmail photos.
Which makes Harry getting angry and declining her offer to discuss his assault on her scourge when they talked at the start of DB instead of actually fishing for some information one of the more irritating cases of him being an incurious protagonist.
