Select one of the photos, CTRL- or RIGHT-click on the selection to open the Get Info window from the context menu. Locate the panel for setting a Default App. Use the drop-down menu to select Photos as the default. Click on the Change All button to change all photos with the same extension.

We need details

What version of the OS and of iPhoto

And exactly what are you doing? You can not "open" photos with iPhoto - iPhoto is not a photo viewer, it is a database program and can only show photos that have been imported into it -- if you import the photos (iPhoto file menu ==> import or drag them to the iPhoto icon in the Dock) then you can manage them with iPhoto
