It's not cheating, but it does have its applications, as noted in a few of the posts above. If you can detect it easily, it's not the right solution. If it looks "too real" compared with the rest of the layout, it's not the right solution. (This is one of the more successful arguments against photo backdrops.)
I think that as long as your models are not reduced to boxes skinned over with photos, then you've probably managed to incorporate it as "one more tool in the modeller's tool box".
