"You are photographing an animal."

Translation: Tu photographies un animal.

[michihuber]

prendre une photo is more common

[rproffit]

I agree

[AabLevellen]

Probably, but prendre un photo=to take a photo. Here we practice the less common verbe photographier=to photograph.

[Ckutney]

In the earlier exercise I did, it asked me to translate "I photograph the horse". I wrote "Je prends le cheval en photo", and it said I got it right.
I wish they would be a little more consistent, unless there is a reason "prendre - en photo" is wrong in this instance?

[AndrewsSuzy]

but they both mean the same thing

[FrancisBuahin]

Hold it! Is 'photo' feminine or masculine?

[Jordanmt]

Could anyone comment on the difference between prendre une photo/prendre en photo? E.g. "Tu prends un animal en photo" vs "Tu prends une photo d'un animal". I've heard both.

[AabLevellen]

I do not know, but my dictionary (Le Petit Robert micro) use the formules prendre une photo, faire une photo, prendre en photo and photographier for the act of taking a photo, and the formule en photo also in the example Il est mieux en photo qu'en naturel which I understand as He is better on photo than in real life.
