I doubt it...my wife just traveled in December and she had to show results from an actual testing company or hospital. I don't think they would accept a photo from a home test? That seems ridiculously easy to fake - both the result, and it being your test.

There are antigen home tests valid for travel (https://www.emed.com/airline-travel); you take the test on a webcam and they watch for the entire 15 minutes until the result appears. If you move/obscure the test it is invalidated.

Not sure if there are proctored PCR versions. They'd have to go in the mail to a lab, but the test proctor could watch you seal it with a uniquely marked seal or something; that should ensure the sample that arrives at the lab is the same as the one you swabbed on camera.
