Could have? Perhaps. Would have? Certainly, if health and opportunity permitted. Did he? I don't know.
I've never seen one if he did, though I know for sure that George Brace, his "understudy" if you will, took a number of nice photos of Campy (see one example below). Burke had a heart attack in 1948 (though I'm not sure when in 1948) that ended his career and would have limited his opportunity to capture Campanella on film in his rookie year.
