There are a lot of methods for this.  You can do anything from dropping
snippets of PHP on the photo pages to swotting up a Makefile that generates
photo pages to using a full photo-presentation package like the fairly popular
Gallery (http://gallery.menalto.com/), a PHP-based and database-backed suite.

Without a firmer idea of what you want, it's hard to advise you further.  But
of the three, Gallery will do what you want, and a bunch more.
