Getting taxonomy values from image

I’m using another plugin called Enhanced Media Library which allows you to assign an image in the media library to a custom taxonomy. The default taxonomy is “media_category”.

I’m trying to get the custom taxonomy terms associated with the images in the gallery field.

I am familiar with the get_terms function but I can’t figure out how to associate it with the images in the field. If anyone could shed light that would be greatly appreciated.

Here’s my code now.

<?php
					 
				
$portfolio_images = get_field('portfolio_gallery');
					
foreach( $portfolio_images as $portfolio_image ):
					
				 
?>
						
	<li class="gallery-item" data-myorder="<?php echo $i; ?>">
	    <img src="<?php echo $portfolio_image['sizes']['portfolio-thumbnail']; ?>" alt="<?php echo $portfolio_image['alt']; ?>" />
	    <div class="mask">
	       <a class="mask-link" href="<?php echo $portfolio_image['url']; ?>">
	       <div class="mask-content">
	       <h4><?php echo $portfolio_image['title']; ?></h4>
		<p><?php echo $portfolio_image['caption']; ?></p>
		</div>
</a>
	</div>
</li>
						
<?php  endforeach; ?>

Hi @itrogers

You can get the image ID like so:
$portfolio_image['ID'];

With the ID, you can load the terms related to it like so:
get_the_terms( $portfolio_image['ID'], 'media_category' )
