Manager and worker classifications exist for a reason. The manager ensures the worker does his job, while the worker is expected to carry out the duties they were hired for.
In this situation, it's not up for the worker to determine what "looks good" and doesn't need attention. His clean could be a customer's dirty. Especially at a club, appearance and cleanliness can be a factor in increasing or decreasing membership.
If he's hired to clean, then he should be cleaning. In terms of restocking, toilet paper may not have needed to be restocked, but he could have topped off the towels (if they were individual vs. a roll) and the soap. At the very least, he should have swept, emptied the trash, and started folding towels if they had dried during his shift.
Now should the manager have asked the OP what he did before reprimanding him? Definitely. The photographer isn't hired to keep track of the OP, so he can only speak to what he saw, which was only a portion of the story.
