拍照 (pāi zhào) is used more in spoken language than written language. This is because it is a short, colloquial phrase that is easy to say and understand. In written language, it is more common to use the longer phrase "拍摄照片 (pāi shè zhào piàn)" or "摄影 (shèyǐng)" which means "take photographs".

拍照 (pāi zhào) and 照相 (zhào xiàng) both refer to the act of taking photographs in Chinese. 拍照 (pāi zhào) is an informal way to mean "take a photo". It emphasizes the action of using a camera to capture an image. 拍照 is a commonly used term in everyday language when referring to the act of taking pictures. 照相 (zhào xiàng) also means "to take a photo" but with an emphasis on the process of photography. 照相 (zhào xiàng) is versatile and can be used in various contexts, both formal and informal.
