The plural form photos is an exception to the rule that words which end with -o preceeded by a consonant have -es added to create the plural form.

We add 's' instead of 'es' to the word photo to make it plural whereas we all know that words ending with 'o' if proceeded by a consonant usually takes 'es' to be plural. But photo is not a full word, it is contracted form of the main word 'photograph'. So only 's' is added to this word to make it plural.
