Are the photos stored in the Photos application or just as .jpeg/.png files in a folder? In both cases, if you connect the external storage to your Mac, you should see it appear either on your desktop or in finder on the sidebar under 'locations'. By clicking and dragging the files from their respecting place to the drive's icon, you should be able to move them.


Good luck!
