照片 (zhào piàn) means photograph or photo. 照 relates to light and illumination (and by extension photography), while 片 means a flat, thin piece or slice - referring to the physical print. The measure word is 张 (zhāng), so one photo is 一张照片. Common compounds include 合照 (group photo), 自拍 (selfie), and 照片册 (photo album).
