Please refer to the documentation https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/ui/layout/recyclerview, under section Add a list adapter you can read a following information :

To feed all your data to the list, you must extend the RecyclerView.Adapter class. This object creates views for items, and replaces the content of some of the views with new data items when the original item is no longer visible.

So, basically you have to create adapter for your recycler view, from which you can insert new item (photo) to you recyclerview.
