Site example.com hotlinks an image from site example-photos.com (with permission).

Site example-photos.com redirects its images to a new domain, photo-center.com.
Will the <img src=""> tag on site example.com follow the 301 redirects to example-photos.com so that when a page is viewed on example.com the image will still be displayed?

Or would example.com need to update its <img> tag ?

Yes, browsers will follow 301 redirects on externally linked images in the same way they would for any other HTTP request.
