fotógrafo
/foˈtoɡɾafo/ · B1 · noun · m
photographer
📷 foto + grafo = light + writer: someone who writes with light
From Greek phōs (light) + graphein (to write). Same root as the English photographer. Watch the stress, which falls on the second syllable: fo-TO-gra-fo, not foto-GRA-fo. A female photographer is la fotógrafa.
