photo
Camera's frozen moment
Photo is a clipped form of photograph—an image captured by a camera.
The shorter form dominates casual speech and most everyday contexts: Can I see the photos from your trip?
Photo combines freely: photo album, photo shoot, photo op.
As a verb, to photo someone is to photograph them, though this use is less common.
