I have a photo list in sharepoint. When the individual items are viewed I make a rest api call and find the title and number of likes for that individual item. 

http://sharepointsite.com/sites/sitename/pun/_api/Web/Lists/GetByTitle('List%20Name')/items?$select=Title,LikesCount

Now how can I get the status of Like(ie like/unlike) using the api query?

I could not find any column name in the list which stores the status of like for that particular user

There is column named LikedBy which stores the users who have liked this item.

LikedBy is lookup column (People or Group). So you have to $expand this column in your query like following 

http://sharepointsite.com/sites/sitename/pun/_api/Web/Lists/GetByTitle('List%20Name')/items?$select=Title,LikesCount,LikedBy/Title&$expand=LikedBy
