Legal Question in Medical Malpractice in New York

Is the photographers name safe?

There's a lawsuit started and the defence keeps asking for the name of the photographer who took the pictures of the plaintiff.

Is the defense entitled to get the photographers name or is it safe by case law or something?

Thank you.
