Well, as an old "Poofreader" you made me get up out of
my chair and look at my reference manual to see what
it says.  Knowing there are differing schools of
style, I'll just tell you what the Gregg Reference
Manual says.  That's used more often in business.  The
caveat is that the copy in my bookshelf is 6th
edition; don't remember which edition is at the
office; I just checked and the most current edition is
the 9th.  I can't imagine this topic changed much, but
here's what it says:

Section 289

Underscore titles of complete works that are published
as separate items--for example, books, pamphlets, long
poems, magazines, and newspapers.  Also underscore
titles of movies, plays, musicals, operas, television
and radio series, long musical compositions, and
pieces of sculpture.

I'd be inclined to treat a photo the same as a
painting or piece of sculpture in this respect (good
grief what a brouhaha that allegation could cause if
not taken in context).

For the Eats, Shoots and Leaves crew, note the coma
between compositions and and.  So that it would be
Eats, Shoots, and Leaves (LOL).
