The Chinese word "摄影师" is composed of two characters: "摄影" and "师". "摄影" means "photography", which is derived from the Greek words "phos" (light) and "graphos" (writing). It refers to the process of capturing images using a camera. "师" means "teacher" or "master", and is often used as a suffix to indicate a person who is skilled in a particular field. Therefore, "摄影师" literally means "photography master" or "photographer".
