I think it depends on what your academic strength overall as presented in your transcript is, what you did in the field of biology, and the amount of passion you have for each. If, through your transcript, they can see that you excell in biology/academia in general, then it would be advisable to go with photography. However, keep the other two in mind, even if this is the case; if your work in the field of biology involves something remarkable, or you truly have a deep passion for the subject, you should probably go with biology, especially if photography can be classified as a hobby instead of a passion (which is the case for most people, as far as I am aware).

Adcoms don’t seem to be looking for intellectuals anymore - they look for intelligent people. Present yourself as a person, not a category, in whichever way this applies to you.
