If I understand correct, you want write filename and path to csv file.

#!/bin/bash

echo "Dir, Name" > "csvfile.csv"

files=$(find /YOURPATH -type f)

for f in $files
do

dir=$(dirname $f)
name=$(basename $f)
echo "$dir, $name" >> "csvfile.csv"

done

Find all files in /YOURPATH , write path and filename to csvfile.csv .

Or If you want to find just image file and if you know type, you can use like this:

find /YOURPATH -type f -name *.jpg
