When a Photo have two places/business then if we upload that photo to both locations will it be called uploading duplicate photos?

of course it will be considered a duplicate, as the photo has been taken in one location. Here below an excerpt of What photos should I share on Google Maps?
What not to share
- Do not upload duplicate photos. Sharing the same photo more than once on one location or across multiple locations is a violation of our rules and policies and may result in your removal from the program.
- Avoid sharing selfies and group photos. These photos don’t help to represent the location, so save them for a different platform.
- Avoid sharing low quality photos. Dark and blurry photos, or photos with low resolution don’t give helpful information about the location and may be removed.
Do you think you may have shared photos on Google Maps that go against our guidelines, rules, and policies? Go through your photo contributions, remove any photos and videos that may be considered irrelevant or spam, and help others easily find useful information. Remember if you delete your photos and videos or if they are removed by our team, your Local Guides points for those contributions will also be removed.

Thank you for replying @ermest
What if the photo contains two business places?
Like this photo is correct for both business. What to do in this case?
Personally I would not upload that photo @RahulAgrawal , and in any case I would have to choose on which business to upload it
As we are the one who take the photo, we can chose to move few step forward, and take two separate photos.
Quality is an important aspect of a photo. A correct representation of the storefront is the business card of the business
We are here to help the business, not simply to get point. What do you think? I saw the Hotel have a lot of good photos, but not a good one of the front door. Do you think they will be happy to have that one? What about a better one?

Thank you so much @ErmesT It cleared all my doubts of local guide’s policy.
Now I have one more query.
If someone have already done it then how can he remove such duplicate photos before Google Team removes his account?

Thank you for asking @RahulAgrawal
A local guide can remove the duplicate photos through “your contributions” on the tab “photos” clicking on the 3 dots of the photo.
Please read: Add, remove, or share photos and videos for more details

Can he remove all the duplicate photos at once instead of seeing and doing it one by one?
