    Here's my article on ways to get around this problem: Logos Over Photos - Best Practices

    Here's a PowerPoint User Voice suggestion that this behavior be fixed, please add your vote: Layout shapes and placeholders should keep their stacking order on the slide

    There's no good way. One possibility is to place a TEXT placeholder over the pictute placeholder, remove text format and add a space and a fill (maybe a transparent PNG) 

    This is not really robust or satisfactory though.

    Placeholderes will always show in front of standard shapes on the master / layout when in show mode.
