Morphology
photographer's + model
This is a straightforward possessive noun phrase: 'photographer's' (a person who takes photographs) modifies 'model' (a person who poses), yielding 'a model who poses for a photographer.' The meaning is directly compositional and follows common possessive/modifier patterns found across languages, so a B1 learner who knows the two constituents will readily understand it.
Etymology
Photographer's model comes from the simple image of a photographer and a model. The model 'poses' in front of a camera so the photographer can take pictures, so the phrase means 'a person who poses for photographers'.
