We don't know what's in the pictures. If it's just pictures of plumbing for instance, that doesn't identify the house.

@PMF That doesn't change anything. It's still personal data, because the contractor processes the photos in a way which is cross-referenced to the person's name (see recital 26 to the GDPR). The general principle is, if the data controller can identify whose house is in the photo, whether directly or indirectly including by cross-referencing to other data, then the photo is personal data. The GDPR has been very widely drafted to ensure that corner-cases like this don't escape the rules.
