A still photograph, also known as a static photograph, captures a single moment frozen in time. It can also be called a snapshot, portrait, or snapshot in time. Other synonyms include a snap, shot, or pic. A photograph that has been manipulated or edited may be referred to as a composite image or altered photograph. In contrast, a moving photograph, or moving image, is called a video or motion picture. Regardless of the term used, photographs are a powerful tool in capturing memories, documenting events, and telling stories.
