How photographer might appear very quickly? (2,1,5)
I believe the answer is:
in a flash
'very quickly?' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'how photographer might appear' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
'appear' could be 'flash' (flashing is a kind of appearing) and 'flash' is found within the answer.
The remaining letters 'ina' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't understand.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for in a flash that I've seen before include "Almost instantly" , "Where American detected electricity" , "How lightning appears" , "pictures may be taken" , "Very quickly" .)
