How do you spell photograph?

P-H-O-T-O-G-R-A-P-H

The f sound is written ph at both the start and the end; there is no letter f in the word.

What it means

A photograph is a still picture captured by a camera. In an image library the word is also used loosely for photo-realistic renders that look like camera captures.
