Selenium can't locate xpath of facebook pages

I am trying to download public images of some facebook pages using xpath. I got the xpath from google chrome dev mode (right click and copy xpath). The xpath I got is: /html/body/div[1]/div/div[1]/div[1]/div[3]/div/div/div[1]/div[1]/div[4]/div/div/div[3]/div/div/div/div[2]

When I try to find it in gogole chrome, it finds the xapth just fine as shown in the image. enter image description here

But Selenium throws an exception.
selenium.common.exceptions.NoSuchElementException: Message: no such element: Unable to locate element

The code snippet I am using is as follows-

driver.get(page)
sleep(10)

allimgdiv = driver.find_element_by_xpath(
'/html/body/div[1]/div/div[1]/div[1]/div[3]/div/div/div[1]/div[1]/div[4]/div/div/div[3]/div/div/div/div[2]')

This expression returns the link of only posted images in an facebook page type: https://www.facebook.com/username/photos

//h2[.//a[contains(@href,"/photos")]]//following::div//img

Try

images = driver.find_elements_by_xpath('//h2[.//a[contains(@href,"/photos")]]//following::div//img')
for image in images:
 linkimage =  image.find_element_by_xpath('./@src').text
