Morphology
The meaning 'wallpaper printed with photographs' is directly and transparently derived from combining 'photo' (photographic image) with 'wallpaper' (decorative wall covering). This noun+noun compounding is a regular, cross-linguistically common pattern, so a B1 learner who knows both constituents would readily infer the MWE's meaning.
Etymology
The compound noun photo wallpaper comes from the idea of putting a large photo across a wall like ordinary wallpaper. So, it means 'wallpaper printed with photographs'.
