   As a passive,which of the above is right or acceptable?

Answer

1 is correct, although "a photo of me was taken yesterday" would be a bit more common.  2 is wrong.  To make a passive with an indirect object at the head, use "had" or "got".
"I had my photo taken yesterday".
"I got my photo taken yesterday."
