Online synchronous version

Share images via live session and ask students to add comments in the chat – you can pick some people to contribute vocally about the images.  If you want smaller group discussions, ask students to discuss in a breakout room/channel with a specific time before they come back to the whole group.  They can agree their summary and share it with the wider group.

Online asynchronous version 

Share images via a forum in a blog format – ask students to add comments about them and add their own images with reasons why they reflect something from the course content, they can then comment on images.
