Morphology
The meaning is directly and transparently derived from combining digital (relating to electronic/numeric technology) with photography (the craft of creating photographs); together they describe photography done with digital technology rather than film. This is a straightforward descriptive compound following normal English composition patterns and is cross-linguistically common, so a B1 learner who knows both constituents will readily understand it.
Etymology
The term digital photography comes from the word digital, which refers to 'digits', that is, numbers used to make a picture instead of film, and photography, meaning 'taking pictures'. So digital photography means using electronic devices to take and store photos as numbers, not on film.
