Usage notes

  • Use fotografia for both the art/form and a single photo; context usually makes it clear.
  • For a casual single image, foto is much more common in speech and everyday writing.
  • To say someone is in a photo, use in fotografia/in foto, not a literal translation like su una fotografia.
