For the better answer, you can use these lines of code. Here is the example maybe help you :
image = cv2.imread('/home/pictures/1.jpg')
plt.imshow(image)
plt.show()
In imread() you can pass the directory .so you can also use str() and + to combine dynamic directories and fixed directory like this:
path = '/home/pictures/'
for i in range(2) :
image = cv2.imread(str(path)+'1.jpg')
plt.imshow(image)
plt.show()
Both are the same.
