Photos are not just dropped in the laps of jurors in a case, usually, the photograher is on the witness stand while either the State or the defense is trying to admit the photos, and is asked something like: "Are these photos a depiction of the evidence (or facts of the case) that was present on [ date and time ] and accurately show what you personally observed?" I've been there (on the witness stand) many times. The photos back up the testimony of someone, or some facts that are presented in testimony, they don't stand on their own without corroborating testimony.
