If you use webform and views, create a custom field in CIVIcrm, an image field, it will then be available from the Webform interface to be added.
Then select that particular field to be displayed on the view.

One possibility is to use the Documents extension: https://civicrm.org/extensions/documents. This will allow you to add documents to contacts and show them on a separate tab.

It would not cause an issue for either Views or Webform. Ie if the workflow is, look at a view, click through to a Webform, add file ... then that would work just fine. if alternatively you need the View or Webform loading the file then i also don't think that is problematic
