this picture is taken by me vs this picture was taken by me

Both options are grammatically correct, but they are used in different contexts. 'This picture is taken by me' is in the present tense, indicating that you are the one who usually takes the picture. 'This picture was taken by me' is in the past tense, which means you are referring to a specific picture that you took in the past.
