Sure, just import the appropriate model. Perhaps something like this:
from django.db import models
from myproject.gallery.models import Photo
class Rating(models.Model):
photo = models.ForeignKey(Photo)
# the rest of your model ...
I'm not sure exactly what you have in mind, so a many-to-many or
one-to-one field may be more appropriate there, but that should get
you started.
