When should I use one or the other?
A photo is a picture taken with a camera. A picture is any visual representation of a subject.

So, a painting could be a picture as well? Because it may a visual representation of a subject as well. – Vadorequest Aug 27 '15 at 13:34

What about the difference between a picture and an image? I don't see any difference anymore. – Vadorequest Aug 27 '15 at 13:54

An image can refer to all of the above. It's a more general term. I suggest looking in a dictionary for specific nuances. – Robusto Aug 27 '15 at 13:56
