Im trying to run twphotos on an account with 300k photos. The account twitter.com/streetartfound is returning around 3000 photos.

Do you know why this method isn't identifying all the photos?

On my side, twphotos on that account only returns 2611 photos, while nothing seems wrong. It's more like a Twitter API issue.

Twitter's "GET statuses/user_timeline" API only allows up to 3200 recent tweets, therefore it's not possible to get more images than that number.

Closing because issue is with API and not library.
