Morphology
The meaning is transparently compositional: 'stereoscopic' (relating to images that create depth perception) combined with 'photography' (the craft of making photographs) yields photography that produces the illusion of depth. This follows standard word-formation and is cross-linguistically recognizable, so a learner who knows both constituents can infer the MWE’s meaning.
Etymology
Stereoscopic photography comes from the idea of using two slightly different photos, like the two views from our eyes. When those photos are seen together in a simple viewer they join into one picture with 'depth', so the term means making photos that look 'three-dimensional'.
