Discussion Groups / ESL Teaching / October 2009Alternative to "photograph"
I'm looking for a "native english" alternative to the word "photograph". To give an example, we have the word "Lichtbild" in German, which describes the concept of an image created by or using light in native german words. Is there an analogous word in English or has "photography" been the first and only term ever used to describe photographs? Thank you very much.  SignatureThomas 'Snapshot' or 'Snap' were common terms when I was young. >I'm looking for a "native english" alternative to the word "photograph". >To give an example, we have the word "Lichtbild" in German, which >describes the concept of an image created by or using light in native >german words.

'Snapshot' or 'Snap' were terms regularly used when I was younger 'Snapshot' or more commonly 'Snap' are often used. I think these terms originated c1900 >I'm looking for a "native english" alternative to the word "photograph". >To give an example, we have the word "Lichtbild" in German, which >describes the concept of an image created by or using light in native >german words.
