79) “Photograph” and “Photographer” – Mistaking German for English: A fotograf in German and other languages, including Slovak, is a photographer in English, the person who creates photos with a camera. A photograph is the image created:

“The photographer took my photograph.”

“The photographer took my photo.”

(And note that a photograph is taken, not made – see point #49.)

(Also note that while photograph has its accent in the first syllable, photographer has it accent on the second syllable – see point #13.)
