Probably not. You'd need a scintillation material: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scintillator
BGO is a good one that's less sensitive to mechanical shock and moisture than NaI(Tl).
There are liquid organic scintillators (Usually POP-POPOP via toluene in excited-state) and plastics, but the sensitivity isn't very good for higher
energy x-rays and gammas (density is too low).
There is always sensitized ZnS (the oldest one), but the efficiency is low in general, and better for higher energy particles like alpha/beta.
Still, this would be for imaging (tau is relatively short), not photography. For photography, no fluor is required...simply put the object between the
source (I'm assuming some sort of collimated electron tube) and some black and white film that is sealed from light, and irradiate. Develop the film
to see what you got. It will take some work to determine the optimum accelerating voltage, time and distance (both between the source--sample) to
reliably get the best results.
Look out for back-scatter, and try and run the thing with some kind of shielding and/or via remote control. A counter/scaler with a proper LEG (low
energy gamma/x-ray) scintillation probe (or failing that, some kind of personal monitor) to monitor your area would probably be a good idea as well.
