Morphology
The meaning is directly derivable from combining 'stereo' (stereoscopic/3D, relating to two images) with 'photography' (the craft of making photographs); together they describe photography that produces a 3D/depth effect. This straightforward noun–noun descriptive composition is common and has clear parallels in many languages, so a B1 learner who knows both constituents would readily infer the MWE's meaning.
Etymology
Stereo photography comes from a simple idea: stereo means 'solid' and photography is making pictures with light. When two pictures are taken from slightly different places and seen together so each eye sees one, the image looks deep and more like a real scene, so the phrase means making pictures that show 'depth'.
