But it is also an image (aka reflection or projection in a sense) of a person, situation, moment in time or whatever was photographed. | |

That means the major difference between the two would be the optical appearance, which covers reflections, lens images, and holograms. This would make my answer pretty much equivalent to @nico's | |
