My understanding: 发 here just means this news is originally from 中新社, and 摄 means photographed by 廖攀.
I think you just need to put the 中新社 name there and everyone knows what it means.

Your could also use "circulated by" but it is not as common as "distributed by"

A second thought, as a Press, 中新社 releases news, so
发aslo means to release news.
