Are there any "good" songs you mean?
 
About film or just 'mentioning' film?
 
Hay Ya, Outkast - "Shake it like a Polaroid picture.."
 
Give me everything (tonight), Pitbull - "go to Times Square Take a picture of me with a Kodak "
 
Nightswimming, REM -
"Nightswimming deserves a quiet night.
The photograph on the dashboard, taken years ago,
Turned around backwards so the windshield shows.
Every streetlight reveals the picture in reverse."​
 
Freeze-Frame - J. Giles Band

People Take Pictures of Each Other- The Kinks

You'll have to make this thread NSFW if the video is embedded here, but theres always 'Girls on Film' by Duran Duran (this is the uncensored version)

NSFW: Frank Zappa's Champagne Lecture ending to Call Any Vegetable on Playground Psychotics features a Polaroid camera prominently in the lyrics/plot. :LOL:
 
Not sure if it fits the bill but..........

Kevin Carter by the Manic Street Preachers.

Kevin Carter's philosophy was to be an observer and never get involved. He won the Pulitzer Prize in 1994 for this haunting picture of the vulture and the Sudanese child.

Shortly after collecting his award Carter committed suicide - according to many, because of the violence he'd encountered in his life as a photo journalist.

Gentlemen take polaroids by Japan (If you haven't heard of Japan, they are the band Duran Duran copied)

I should add that Japan are way better than Duran Duran.

Though I have arguments over that point with Mrs M. :LOL:

Probably cheating but what about:

Just Leica Woman (Bob Dylan)
FoxTalbothole (Television)
Brownie Sugar (Rolling Stones)
 
First picture of you- by The Lotus Eaters or My Camera Never Lies by Bucks Fizz. Obviously that last one was pre digital!
 
Well if "picture" is allowed in the song title I have to suggest Picture This by Blondie:

And If my earlier tanget is allowed, maybe we can have Nikon on Heaven's Door, originally by Dylan, borrowed by some metal band, done most poignantly by Warren Zevon, with the best version by the Leningrad Cowboys with the Red Army Choir on backing vocals:
