If the photos were AirDropped to your Mac, check the Downloads folder in Finder first. That’s where AirDrop items are commonly saved.
Depending on what you chose when accepting them, the photos may also have opened directly in the Photos app, so check Photos > Library as well.
Apple explains the possible save locations here: Use AirDrop to send items to nearby Apple devices - Apple Support
