A photo op (sometimes photo opp ) is a planned event to give photographers an opportunity to take photos. It's short for photo opportunity. Originally the term was used, I think, for occasions when politicians posed to have photos taken, sometimes shaking hands with opponents or foreign statesmen, to record a meeting or an agreement.
