Photos (e.g. JPEG images) contain metadata like the creation date, camera information etc. Those are either stored in the so-called <ulink url="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exif">Exif header</ulink>, in an <ulink url="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Extensible_Metadata_Platform">XMP sidecar file</ulink> or in both. This data can also represent geographic coordinates so that it's replicable where the images were taken.

Most cameras don't have GPS receivers, so, most can't save coordinates when taking images. A common approach is to e.g. carry a small GPS logging device along (or nowadays also using a smartphone ;-), which records a track all the time. Later on, the images' dates can be compared to the GPS log's points' dates to figure out where an image was taken.
