How to prevent wordpress from redirecting media attachment page to media page?

Yoast SEO (and probably other SEO plugins as well) handles that issue by redirecting to the image itself.

I’m not sure how they do it, but you can either go the quick route and install the plugin, or you try to look trough the code to decipher it for your own code.

Otherwise, this is maybe better handled by adding something to robots.txt?
