Assuming you are using the default managed library, they are in Pictures-> Photos Library which is a bundle to see inside, which is *NOT* recommended, you can control-click and select "open bundle contents" or something like that.


While you are free to browse, do not make changes in the bundle, only the Photos App should do that.
