This is status-declined for reasons listed in answers below:
They are both well used tags, but they seemingly mean the same thing.
Which one should be a synonym of the other?
Thoughts?

To be pedantic: every photo is an image, but not every image is a photo. As long as they are correctly applied, I do see a use for both of these tags. There are certainly techniques that only (or mostly) apply to photo-editing and not to image-editing in general.
Illustrator, Inkscape, Xara, Sketch, et. al. create images, but do not create photos. Heck even Photoshop creates images not photos. Only camera's create photos.
You can't call an icon a photo.... You can't call an Illustration a photo.. that sort of thing.
Webster defines it as
Definition of photo plural photos : photograph
photograph : a picture or likeness obtained by photography
Definition of photography : the art or process of producing images by the action of radiant energy and especially light on a sensitive surface (such as film or an optical sensor)
So no, it's not the same as a picture it has to be taken from a camera.
The saved file might still be considered a photo not an image.
A photo modified and saved in Photoshop would be considered a photo too
