        {
            StorageFolder folder = KnownFolders.PicturesLibrary;
            StorageFile file =await folder.GetFileAsync("test1.jpg");

            IRandomAccessStream stream = await file.OpenAsync(FileAccessMode.Read);
            BitmapImage img = new BitmapImage();
            img.SetSource(stream);
            this.imgControl.Source = img;
        }

imgControl is the Name of the Image control
