Use the Libraries list in the iMovie sidebar

You can access your photo library in the Photos app from within iMovie:

1. In the left-hand sidebar of the iMovie window, select Photos.
   
2. Click the pop-up menu at the top of the browser to choose a content category—My Albums, Albums, Years, Collections, Moments, or Places.
   
3. When you find the photo or video you’d like to use, drag it into the timeline of your project. If you add a photo, it appears for 3 to 6 seconds in your project, depending on the length of the transitions next to the photo. You can trim the photo in the timeline so it appears for a shorter or longer amount of time in your video.
4. To replace an existing clip, drag the photo or video onto the clip you want to replace, then choose one of the replacement options.

If Photos isn't in the Libraries list, your Photos Library might not be designated as your System Photo Library. You can always drag photos and movies into your iMovie project.
