this is actually an interesting subject and one should not jump on quick/easy answers. - is a photography really a snapshot of what something looks like? seems to be an easy one until you look closely at the history of technology behind photography - if photography is a faithful representation of something, does it mean there's not "creation" involved? how can photography be considered art if it's not creation? - "a passport photo is supposed to depict a snapshot of your face" and "all photos are fiction" are not mutually exclusive statements - and so on
