Are you one of the book-smart, intelligent efikos on Nairaland?
If yes, come and prove yourself!!


“Photos“, “Pictures” and the word “Image”are three most confusingly and wrongly used words that I have ever come across in real life and on Social media.

Sometimes, I hear people say “Pictures”, while some prefer to just simply say “Photos”.And in most cases I have encountered some people who will use the word “Image” in similar context as those that will use “Photos” and “Pictures”.

Meanwhile, I have been tempted to conclude that the three words are the same but I think I have to be sure. So, we need clarifications as regards the differences that exist among the three words.


The question here is,What Is The Difference Between Photo, Image & Picture?

A photo should be used exclusively for those captured by a camera.
A picture refers to a painting or drawing/illustration.
An image though widely used for any photo or artwork, traditionally refers to the artwork in a computer file.

However, since they all refer to pics and images they are often used interchangeably.

thanks bro

Image is simply a form of visualized art, and it is not physical or something that could be held.

For example, @Op, I may have your image based on my perception of you or through my imagination without seeing you.

Picture on the other hand is a an art or object captured by a camera and it is only displayed on screen as a soft copy.

While photo is the output you get after snapping or taking a picture i.e the hard copy.


My opinion, subjected to correction.

If honestly, I've never considered that I misuse these three words, and I often use them wrong. But I don't think I have to condemn myself for that.

If honestly, I've never considered that I misuse these three words, and I often use them wrong. But I don't think I have to condemn myself for that. I like to take pictures; I also like to draw! Art is part of my daily routine, but I'm okay with every word I use. At least I know exactly that I recently ordered some canvas print photos, namely photos. After having a photo session with the family, I said that we have to put these memories on the wall as well! We live in the digital age, but it's still better to print these pictures on canvas because they will last longer.

Thank you because you have been willing to share information with us. we will always appreciate all you have done here because I know you are very concerned with our. colorize old photos

The terms "image," "photo," and "picture" are often used interchangeably to refer to a visual representation of something. However, there are some subtle differences between these terms.

An image is a broad term that can refer to any visual representation, whether it is a drawing, a diagram, or a photograph. An image can be two-dimensional, like a painting or a print, or it can be three-dimensional, like a sculpture or a model.

A photo, short for photograph, is a specific type of image that is created by capturing light with a camera. Photos are typically realistic and detailed, capturing a moment in time.

A picture is also a specific type of image, but it can be a painting, drawing, or photograph. The term "picture" often implies that the image is intended to be aesthetically pleasing or to convey a specific message or emotion.

In general, the terms "image," "photo," and "picture" are often used interchangeably, but a photo is a type of image that is specifically created with a camera, and a picture is an image that is intended to be aesthetically pleasing or to convey a specific message
