for old in directory/photo*; do new=`echo $old | sed 's/photo_//g'`; mv -v $old $new;
done
Would give you 1.jpg, 2.jpg...500.jpg. If you display those with Apache, try
IndexOptions VersionSort which I think should display them in the correct order. If
you really want 001, 002.. etc that's possible too, but harder:
for old in directory/photo*; do new=`echo $old | sed 's/photo_//g;s/\.jpg//g' | xargs
printf "%03d.jpg"`; mv -v $old $new; done
