You could use non-indexed pages (don't submit your URL to search engines
and don't have other sites linking to yours). I wonder if these image
search robots can access photopoint folders, for example?

The "spiders" search an entire site. In the case of Lycos, it looks for
multimedia rich pages/sites, makes thumbnails of the images, and indexes
them to the image file source (not to the html page on which they
appear). Aspects of this technique are legally controversial concerning
intellectual property rights. There will be increasing litigation over it
within the next several years.
There is a way of deflecting "spiders" or "bots" from specified areas of a
site provided the wiring for it has been left in them. I don't think it's
a matter of non-indexed pages. For those who have their own sites and want
to do this, see the following about how to add site code that restricts
what spiders can access:
