The very best way is to make sure that direct sunlight never reaches your photo. The UV and the extremes in temperature (and humidity) resulting from sun exposure will destroy nearly any type of photo.
The alternative, when a photo must have some level of sun exposure, is to use UV protectant glass as a cover. The glass absorbs the damaging UV rays. If there are many delicate photos, UV protection can also be added to nearby windows and patio doors. These methods stop the UV but do not stop the sun from heating the paper and drying it out, which will age it excessively over time.
In extreme circumstances, photos are sometimes transferred to ceramic or porcelain bases for display on gravestones, etc.
