It depends on whether you want to copy a few pictures from your library or copy the entire Photos Library.


If the former, export the required pictures from within Photos. Select the right pictures, then File | Export and choose the flash drive as the destination.


If the latter, when Photos is not running copy the entire Photos Library file - drag and drop using Finder is simplest. However, be aware that running the Photos Library from a flash drive, if that is your intention, is unlikely to work reliably and could damage the Library file.
