At present, Toga doesn't have any cross-platform support for photo libraries/albums.

Photo albums aren't implemented as directories of files; they're separate applications, and interacting with them requires using cross-app data sharing mechanisms, not simple "file open/file save" operations.

At present, if you want to use the photo library, you will need to use the native Android Photos API, using the Chaquopy bridging layer to access the Java APIs.

I've opened #2611 to provide a more complete description of this feature.
