Snap a photo, take a picture

[dhejejjeskms]

Hi, everybody.

I was wondering if there is a difference between "snap a photo" and "take a picture".
Would you let me know about that?

Thank you.

Does anyone still (in fact, did anyone ever) say “snap a photo”? I don’t think so. We used to use the word snap to mean a quick photo, especially one taken on a cheap/basic camera, but I haven’t heard anyone use that term for a long time.

But take a picture/take a photo is fine. It’s the normal way of saying it.

I read a Daily Mail article about Ed sheeran and got curious.
If "snap a photo" is used as a written form, is it okay?

"In an interview with The Sun, Ed admitted that he finds it difficult when people constantly snap photos of him in public, making him feel 'not human and like a 'zoo animal'."

Not that I can remember.

There’s nothing wrong with it. But it sounds pretty dated to me.
