Alright.
A photon itself cannot be photographed. Now, a photon is a particle of light. Let's leave it at that. A picture is developed becuase photons hit the film (or whatever is capturing the image). When you take a picture of something, you're actually recording the light that is reflected by that object. If you were to take a picture of a photon, that means other photons would have to bounce off of it. This can't happen becuase they don't bounce off of each other.
If you're asking if a photon can affeect the picture, then yes, since photons are what hit the film to make the picture.
Aah, logic. Good luck!

Sure, since thats what a photograph is - a record of photons hitting the film (or digital sensor). You could photograph a single photon, but it wouldn't be a very interesting picture, just a microscopic dot where the film was exposed to it. What photographing something entails is basically bouncing light (photons) off of an object and recording the returned light on some sort of meduim. If that object happens to be another photon so be it, but again it won't be a particularly interesting picture.

no it cannot be photographed as it is not a particle but bundles of energy, it can be detected, its effect can be noticed but not be photographed
