No, it's not. The actual physical object is not the preferred form for
making modifications to the work (i.e. the photograph): it's the
preferred form for recreating a similar work from scratch.

Source code is the preferred form for modification.
In the case of a photograph, if the digital camera stores pictures in
JPEG format, you must start from that. It won't necessarily be your
preferred form for making modifications to the work, but it may be.

In the case of a photograph with a text over it, preferred form for
modification will probably be a layered image format: then that format
is the source code form.
