There is currently no way to view photos associated with a project other than to go directly into the forms and view/download them individually or in bulk. It seems like the images are just stored in an S3 bucket, so I can just create a script to pull these off of the PDF and name the photos according to which File section of the form they were in, but we would really love a place to view and download, in bulk, any photos associated with project. Ideally those photos could still be separated by their Form's name, so we can filter which photos we want to download.

Thank you for the feedback, Keaton. Please note that while there is no all in one photo album in the Project UI (that's a great idea), we do have the ability to export all photos as a ZIP. And their naming convention should be as you described. As far as HEICs go, test it out, and see if those get successfully converted to JPGs/PNGs.

Additionally, here is some functionality that would be incredible for all customers.
Bulk Export photos from a Form. These photos are renamed according to the title they were attached under in the form. So if I submit two photos under "Battery Photos", the output photos when exported would be called something like "Battery_Photos(1), Battery_Photos(2), etc."
It would be important that they aren't labeled like this "CUSTOMER_NAME_WORK_ORDER_NAME_FORM_NAME_Battery_Photos(1)" because the primary reason people will be bulk exporting is to provide financing companies with photos. So if they're all named something similar, it's hard to sort through them without maybe doing them in list format in File Explorer.
Additionally, I personally work with two financing companies that don't accept image files formatted as .HEIF/.HEIC. This is unfortunate and I wish they'd change because that's the default format for iPhones, which means we have to manually reformat these photos. You should have your export tool reformat these to JPG or PNG so all financers can accept them.
Even if the exporter had to zip things up, that would be much simpler than any current, practical solution. I currently have worked around this with a script that pulls the image from the S3 bucket and associates it with its title, but I still manage to find bugs and have to manually do some of the work anyway.
Thanks for the read! Looking forward to using Coperniq more.
