The Milky Way has never been photographed from the outside. There is no satellite that can get to the outer limits of our galaxy, therefore nothing can take an actual photograph of it. Every one that you see is what is believed that our galaxy looksl ike.

How is it that we have photographs of the Milky Way galaxy as if it were a distant entity yet the photos were taken from earth which resides in it?
We can not take a photo of the Milky Way as if we were at some distance from it. However we do know that the Milky Way is a Bard Spiral Galaxy with, we believe, 4 distinct spiral arms. This information enables artists to depict what the Milky Way would look like form a distance but these depictions are not photographs.Some good photographs of how the Milky Way looks from Earth are linked to below.

What revolves around the Milky Way galaxy?
There are two satellite galaxies, the Greater Magellanic Cloud and the Lesser Magellanic Cloud, which orbit the Milky Way.

Closet galaxy to the milky way galaxy?
The nearest known is the very small Canis Major Dwarf Galaxy at 25,000 light years, a 'satellite' galaxy that orbits the Milky Way. This was only discovered in 2003, so there may be an unknown small galaxy closer. If you want the closest galaxy that is not a Milky Way satellite, that seems to be NGC 185 at just over 2 million light years, though this is in turn a satellite of the Andromeda Galaxy (M31). Finally, M31 is the nearest galaxy that is anything like the Milky Way, a large spiral with its own satellites. It's about 2.5 million light years away.
