For some reason, the photos are rotated 90

What are you using to display the images, an image control? By linked I assume they aren't coming from Access tables as attachments. Did you view them in File Explorer and that is what you're using to determine that they are rotated? If so, first rebuild the icon cache to ensure that isn't the issue - switch to some other view such as 'details' and then back to icons and see if they're the same. It is true that it is a common problem, but it can be caused by using portrait orientation in a camera (which will automatically correct for camera playback display but Access won't) or it can be due to File Explorer icon cache being out of sync.
The more we hear silence, the more we begin to think about our value in this universe.
