The first part of this character looks like “sun” and one is a box. Basically cameras are light boxes because they capture light📸

This character means camera because it has a lot of boxes and a camera is normally a square box. At the bottom, there are little strokes that resembles a flash from the camera.

The radical fire looks like when you turn on a gas stove and the flames pop up.

It looks like fire as the bottom radicals are like flames from the ground.

照, i remember it is the first character for photo because the first radical is ri (sun), and then li (force), kou (mouth) and huo (fire). so old cameras which were square shaped (口 mouth) used to flash (火 fire) when you pressed the button (力 force) and developed under the sun (日 sun).

It looks like two square boxes placed horizontally and a capital ‘F’ facing downwards above a rectangular box. Finally, there is a fire radical at the bottom.

This character looks like a bonfire with larger flame and protection from conflagration at the top. Reminds me of campfires where class meetings were held. 🙂

The top portion looks like people on a dock and the little lines are their lines that they casted.

The two main components that stick out to me are the knife and the sun, so I get the mental image of the knife cutting the light, just like the refraction of light that happens when a picture is taken.

You hang picture frames on the wall so the “window” is on the left, the “curtain” is on the top right, the “picture” is on the bottom right, and the “rays of sunshine” are on the bottom of 照

照 (to cast) is when the sun uses power (力) to create fire

I imagine the bottom part of the character (the fire radical) as flash, needed to take pictures.

照 (which looks like a camera on a tripod with four legs) beside 片 (which looks like a person posing) looks like a person posing in front of a camera (照片 – photo).

The left side is a window, the right side is like “pi” that is being cooked in a pan and below everything is the fire of the stove
