ATS stands for Applicant Tracking System. It is software some employers use to scan and sort CVs before a person reads them.
ATS-safe templates use one column, plain headings and no photo, so the software reads every section in the right order. A photo does not get you rejected, but a plain layout is the safer choice. Two-column and photo designs look great when a person reads them, so use them when the employer will read your CV by eye.
When in doubt, follow what the job advert asks for.
