Morphology
The adjective 'stereoscopic' (relating to depth perception/3D imaging) combined with 'photograph' straightforwardly yields the idea of a photograph that produces a three-dimensional effect. Although the precise technical detail (a pair of images taken from different angles) is specialized, the overall meaning is compositionally predictable from the constituents and thus accessible to learners who know both words.
Etymology
Stereoscopic photograph comes from taking two photographs of the same scene from slightly different positions, like the view from your two eyes. When you look at the two pictures together they join into a 'three-dimensional' image, so the phrase means a pair of photos that make a scene look 3D.
