Answer

I agree with Raftis.

If you say, this is the actual picture, it would sound better.

Examples:

My sister gave me a picture last summer that my grandfather took himself in 1890. This was the actual photo that has been passed down from generation, to generation.

I went to the art gallery and saw this beautiful painting. I was not suppose to touch it, but I did anyway just to make sure it was real and not a replica.

Answer

The word real has a few similar meanings: http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/real , one of which is the same as actual. 
For your photo example, you could say either one, but actual sounds better- more advanced.
