quick snap

Fast casual picture

A quick snap is a photograph taken rapidly and casually, without careful composition or setup: Let me get a quick snap of you two before we leave.

The phrase emphasizes speed and spontaneity over artistic intent.

In American football, a quick snap is a play where the center delivers the ball to the quarterback faster than expected, often to catch the defense unprepared.
