You can use liquid starch on fabric to adhere on your windows. The photos get a little tricky. You have to be careful of what this could do to your photos. You could try coping them , then using as window cover. This way they are copies , they could fade etc.
I've never used starch so no experience with that but I always have cornstarch on hand and I've tried the method on discarded window frames when using for decoration.
Measure your window that you wish to cover and cut your material to fit.
You do have to heat the cornstarch and water.
There are several YouTube Videos that lead you through the complete process. Some people have even covered glass doors this way.

There are also lots of other ways to create a privacy window using just cornstarch and water - frosting and even add glitter or small pieces of lace.

I did try starch one time to create a privacy window with material and it was more of a mess than anything else. I find it is best to mix corn starch with some flower and water to create a nice thin paste and use this to put on the window. Then it is easy to add the material or photos to the window you want to cover.
You might be better off using mod podge. Although glues of any kind can attract bugs. Starch is notorious, especially in humid areas to attract bugs. So you could use starches, but I would not. The safest way to make windows private are the plastic clings you can buy at a hardware store. Least chance to attract bugs.
