Answers:

Photographic memory is also known as eidetic memory. The definition of eidetic memory is somewhat vague, and there is serious doubt that a person with true eidetic memory actually exists. Still, there are rare individuals who can recall memories with stunning accuracy, and while they might not literally remember everything they've ever seen, they certainly have some unusual advantage in their memory.

For the sake of argument, and because your research findings would be pointless if nobody had the condition, let's suppose that these people have eidetic memory. Then their eidetic memory is the result of some physiological abnormality in the regions of the brain involved with long-term memory. Whether this abnormality develops in the womb or in the first few years of childhood is unknown as far as I can tell. There is definitely no way that an adult could develop an eidetic memory.
