How to use InputPhoto in telethone?

Question

Python

I have a photo id and I need to pull it out of telegram. I use telethon, but its documentation is hell. I really tried to understand, but without examples it is very difficult. Please help with an example (or at least advice where to look for it). I made this myself

def get_data(user):
  with TelegramClient('anon', api_id, api_hash) as client:
      result = client(functions.photos.GetUserPhotosRequest(
          user_id=user,
          offset=0,
          max_id=0,
          limit=0
      ))
      client.flood_sleep_threshold = 24 * 60 * 60 
      array_of_photos = result.photos
      for photo in array_of_photos:
      	file_reference = photo.file_reference
      	file_id = photo.id
      	access_hash = photo.access_hash
      	return file_reference, file_id, access_hash
    	



file_reference, file_id, access_hash = get_data('user')



with TelegramClient(name, api_id, api_hash) as client:
    result = client(functions.upload.GetFileRequest(
        location=types.InputFileLocation(
            volume_id=-12398745604826,
            local_id=42,
            secret=-12398745604826,
            file_reference=b'arbitrary\x7f data \xfa here'
        ),
        offset=42,
        limit=100,
        precise=True,
        cdn_supported=True
    ))
    print(result.stringify())

But it refuses to work. I also tried to use the input photo itself, but telethon swears and says that types cannot be called
