Can the EPA take pictures of a complex that is a trade secret?
Here's the (fake, for school) scnario:
A chemical comopany operates a research complex, and the company considers it a trade secret. So, they deny a request by the EPA to inspect the site.
The EPA then hire a COMMERCIAL photographer to take detailed photos of the complex.
Do you know of any cases that deal with this situation?
They were arial photographs; and it was private property, the photographs were taken of a privately owned and operated research facility.

There have been cases where interest groups have done this. USEPA does not have to do this. They just go get a Federal Judge to give them a court order and they bring the law with them. You do not turn the EPA away in this manner. The same is true for OSHA. EPA will work with companies and they have systems in place to cover trade secrets, but there is everything in the law to back them up, not a company. EPA has the right to inspect at any time.

You didn't say whether the photographer trespassed to get the pictures. Generally, pictures are legal to take in any public place, because there is no expectation of privacy.
