yes, you are also right.
I think it could be very different for various people.

I think it depends on how I manage to hold my own space.

Since I was originally trained as a physicist, the instrumentation
became for me a symbol of efficient separation between me (my space)
and the (space of the) observed entity/system.

Holding Space for a group means  for me to offer sharing an
'internal' mental status (or perhaps I should call it mood or
non-everyday-trance...), which accepts and stays fully open for
intensive and flexible overlapping of all the present individual
spaces/spheres.

In my case I know, that taking fotos (I love it!) brings additional
agenda into the game. I want to make good fotos, I want to capture
the Spirit of the situation. I want to take fotos in a way that they
are useful for documentation.... I have to use a flash when I take
close ups of black people, and not if they are pale skinned. I have
to center the camera to get nicely readable fotos of
flip-charts....Even if much of that is already automatized, I just
forget about holding space when holding a camera. And for me there is
a big difference between taking up the camera and taking up a cup.

Not being distracted from my self seems to be a pre-condition for
holding space.

Putting it on a more abstract level: non-instrumentated sensual
perception is usually integrating seeing, hearing, tasting, smelling,
feeling (outside/inside/position relatively to
"down"/self-perception), special organ amplifications like cameras
tend to destroy the integral perception
