Etymology
Romanian borrowed "fotograf" from French "photographe" in the nineteenth century, as the craft of photography spread across Europe. The French word itself joins two Greek elements: "phos/photo-" meaning light, and "graphein" meaning to write or draw. So the word literally describes someone who draws with light.
