What 📷 means

A still camera. It stands for photos, photography and pictures in general.

Common for photo credits, as in “📷: name,” and in photography posts and photo dumps. Friends use it to ask for pictures from an event. Compared with 📸, it reads calmer: the camera as a tool rather than the moment a shot is taken.
