Picture vs. Photo vs. Image - Naming models [closed]

Tags:

naming

I'm writing a gallery and my goal is not just photos but all kinds of images are going to be in there.

Now comes the naming part, what do I name my model?
Photo gives the feeling that it's only for photos. Image is a well used word for any graphics but is originally used when creating an image of something, like a person or a house.

So what makes the most sense:

  • Image
  • Photo
  • Picture

Image is a Digital Asset

Photo and picture are more traditional with cameras and paintings.
