Bedeutung
To capture images with a camera.
Kultureller Hintergrund
Paris is the most photographed city in the world. However, French people value 'la discrétion'. Taking photos of people without asking can be seen as rude. In Quebec, you might hear 'pogner des photos' in very informal slang, though 'faire' and 'prendre' remain the standards. In many African French-speaking countries, photography is a major social event at weddings, often involving elaborate 'séances' (sessions).
Use 'On'
In casual speech, say 'On fait des photos ?' instead of 'Nous faisons des photos ?' to sound more like a native.
The Negative Rule
Always remember: 'Je ne fais pas DE photos'. This is a classic test question for A1 learners!
