Hey there Ben,
We'd like to help you get to viewing those photos sent from your Mac using AirDrop.
We see you have iOS 14 installed, but the latest version is 14.3. You can verify which version number is installed within Settings > General > About. Here's a link that'll show how to first back up, then Update your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch.
A photo that's sent by AirDrop usually saves within the Photos app on your iPhone. If you check within Photos > Library, please confirm if you see them. You may also need to check under Photos > Albums > Utilities > Imports.
As having a full or almost full built-in storage could cause unexpected behavior, it'll be a good thing to have a bit always available. You can check how much is available within Settings > General > iPhone Storage. Just in case, this link includes an overview of How to check the storage on your iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch.

Have a good one!
