Morphology
The meaning is directly derivable from combining 'photo' (a photograph) with 'credit' (acknowledgment or attribution) to mean an acknowledgment of who created or supplied the photograph. This simple noun–noun composition is a common, cross-linguistic pattern and would be understandable to a B1 learner who knows the constituent words.
Etymology
Photo credit comes from old newspapers and magazines, where a small line under a picture named who took the photo and gave them credit. So a photo credit today is the short note that gives someone public 'credit' or recognition for the image.
