sents: text: Endermen tend to teleport in random occasions, when you look directly at them, and when you attack them.
text: This will be a difficult task, but try not to look too closely at one when you approach it to improve your chances of taking a picture with one.
text: As an alternative, you could press F5 twice to take a selfie next to an Enderman far off in the distance.

text: You could start a temporary world in creative mode (or switch gamemodes with commands ), take your screenshot, and then switch back to survival.

sents: text: To make Enderman stay in one place, let go into cobwebs since they can't teleport while stuck in cobwebs.
text: Here you will be able to build your Enderman.
text: If you want to examine closely, wear a pumpkin on your head so Endermen won't be hostile when looking at you.
text: You might have to examine it in third person since the pumpkin blocks some image.
text: If you still can't do this, press F5 to take a screenshot of the Enderman.

Summary of the answers:
If you wear a pumpkin as a helmet, the enderman won't be bothered. Don't look directly at him. If you are under the effects of an invisibility potion, the Endermen won't be able to see you. 
Endermen tend to teleport when there is eye contact. In order for them to stay unprovoked, the most common tactic is to get close without looking at them.
