Wouldn't it also count as Original Research?
There is (or at least should be) a difference between Original Research and extensive, in-depth research.
Some articles require sources more difficult to obtain than simply googling the Web.
The impression I got was that the issue that required looking at the images was a description of the "quality" and nature of the material. To judge the quality of the material is OR. To describe the nature of the material is technically OR as well, but in my opinion to that that "the picture was taken against such-and-such a background" is one of those places where OR is less of a problem. Of course, if a description of the images is notable enough for inclusion in an encyclopaedia article, then one would hope that someone else has described them...
