Morphology
motion-picture + photography
The meaning is directly derivable from combining 'motion-picture' (moving images/film) with 'photography' (the craft of creating images), so it straightforwardly denotes photography for motion pictures/film. This compound follows normal English compounding patterns and corresponds to similar constructions in other languages, so a B1 learner who knows the constituent words should comprehend it.
Etymology
Motion-picture photography comes from the early days of film, when film makers took many still photographs and showed them quickly to make a 'moving picture'. That's why motion-picture (a picture that moves) plus photography (taking pictures) together mean the art of capturing images for film.
