You'll need something like Flash or HTML5 to accomplish your goal. There is no native 'image capture' function in Visualforce.

There is an excellent blog post how to do it using html5: http://davidwalsh.name/browser-camera

 

Using flash or other plugins is not recommended nowadays, unless your target audience still uses ancient browsers like IE6.
