You re-use the name img for every new image. When the loop exits all references to images except for the last one will be lost.

You can save a reference to the image in a label in the label object:

img = PhotoImage(file=img1)
photol = Label(photoframe, image=img, width=150, height=100)
photol.image = img   # Save reference to image within label
etc...
