Morphology
fine + art + photography
The meaning 'photography created as an artistic expression' is directly derivable from combining 'fine' (refined/artistically valued) + 'art' (creative practice) with 'photography' (the craft of making photographs); this is a straightforward compositional noun phrase that follows normal English modification patterns. While a learner might briefly wonder if it means 'photography of fine art objects,' the overall sense of 'photographic work intended as art' is predictable for a B1 learner who knows the parts.
Etymology
Fine art photography comes from artists using the camera like painters: they wanted fine art, work that shows their personal view, and used photography to make images, not to 'record facts' or 'sell things'. So 'fine art photography' means photos made mainly as an artist's own expression rather than for news or ads.
