If we're talking about capturing the image of something that's already there with the use of a camera, then it's 'take'.

You could use 'make' if you wanted to create an image that looks like a photo but doesn't involve the use of a camera. Although I suppose technically speaking it wouldn't be a photo then, would it. But that's a different discussion.

Hmmm. I used photo paper once to create something 'arty', but didn't use a camera, only the photo paper, some ornaments, and chemicals. Is that a photo?

Could be a whole new thread...

I don't know if I would agree with that, it could be argued that the camera you're using is making it, and you yourself are just taking it.

I suppose it all depends on how you look at it.

I also make photos, but being suspicious as i am i get the feeling this question will lead into something more obvious as we have seen on EPZ a million times before.
