// A function that will convert a response body into a List<Photo>
List<Photo> parsePhotos(String responseBody) {

You can use a Stack widget for that:

Stack(
    children: <Widget>[
        yourImageWidget,
        Center(child: Text("someText")),
    ]
)

PhotosList class:

PhotosList({Key key, this.photos}) : super(key: key);

@override
Widget build(BuildContext context) {
    return _buildBody();
}

Widget _buildBody() {
    return new ListView.builder(
            itemCount: photos.length,
            itemBuilder: (context,int){
            return Stack(
                children: <Widget> [
                    new CachedNetworkImage(imageUrl: photos[int].url),
                    Center(child: Text(photos[int].title)),
                ]
            );
            }
        );
    }
}
