iPhoneA backup is only usable for doing a full restore to the phone. It doesn't result in viewable photos on the computer.
You can transfer photos to a computer in a number of ways:
via USB cable: Import photos and videos from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch to your Mac or Windows PC - Apple Support
via 3rd party apps such as: http://www.photosync-app.com
via Photo Stream: My Photo Stream FAQ - Apple Support
via iCloud Photo Library which will result in a copy of all photos being on iCloud, on your Mac in the Photos app if you turn it on, and on your phone. You can turn on Optimize Storage to reduce the storage space required on the phone: iCloud Photo Library FAQ - Apple Support

1.) With your iPhone plugged in, click on the iPhone button near the top right of iTunes next to iTunes Store.
2.) Click "On This iPhone"
3.) Click "Add To"
4.) Then you can transfer music to your phone from your albums, songs list, playlists, etc.
This method can offer hand to help to do lots of data transferring, especially transfer the purchases.

Nov 18, 2015 10:32 PMby SherifBose,For a Mac user, you can transfer photos on iPhone 6 to Macbook Air using iPhoto.
1. Connect the device to your computer. iPhoto should automatically open its import window and show your device's images and videos.
If iPhoto doesn't open, you might need to turn the option on.
2. Click Import All. Or if you want to import specific items, select those images and videos, then click Import Selected. After your photos import, a dialog will ask you if you want to delete the original photos from your Camera Roll.
3. Choose Delete Photos or Keep Photos.
If you delete photos after you import them, you can reduce the size of your Camera Roll and improve backup and restore times.
If you want to import the photos to additional computers, keep your photos.
