I asked the same thing and Maulana Saad (Chicago) said that "If one earns or if one needs to use a photo for very important purposes, such as passport pictures, then it is allowed. Other wise, it is strictly forbidden because on the day of judgement, Allah will ask us to give life to our drawings, sketches and pictures.

Maulana Saad even said that " we should not keep pictures in our homes because the tableegi jinn jamaats come and stay at home and when they see these pictures, they curse that home and never come back. Similarly with Angels. "
