At the moment, pytg does not handle downloading photo & document. It'd be a nice feature to add. To handle this properly, we will need another method, say called "load_photo" in Telegram class (in init.py) which will execute that load_photo command and save it to filesystem (typically it'll be in $HOME/.telegram/downloads). I'll be glad to accept patch to include this feature.

you can now use

sender.load_photo(message_id)

It should return a path. More infos about the huge update today in the readme file.
