Question

what does photograph well mean?

I know "photograph well" means you look good on photos, but can it also mean "you take good pictures well?" for example, it someone took a photo of me, can I say "thank you very much, i look good on this picture, you photograph well"? if not , what should  I say? "you take good pictures well"?

Answer

“To photograph well” usually means to look good in photos. We can also use the adjective “photogenic” to describe such a person.

If you like how someone takes pictures of other people and / or things, you can simply tell them that they’re good at taking pictures, or that they’re a good photographer.

By the way, we usually say “in this picture” / “in this photo”, not “on” this picture.
