What is a "snapshot"?
A snapshot is a quick, informal photograph taken without extensive planning or preparation. Often captured spontaneously, snapshots are usually made with a simple camera or smartphone. The focus is on capturing a moment as it happens, rather than creating a carefully composed or artistic image. Snapshots are commonly used to document everyday activities, personal memories, and casual events. They often reflect a more relaxed and natural approach to photography.
