shoot

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'take photos' is the definition.
'shoot' can be an answer for 'take' (synonyms). I am not certain of the 'photos' bit.

'drunkard going round the house' is the wordplay.
'drunkard' becomes 'sot' (synonyms).
'going round' means one lot of letters goes inside another (some letters go around others).
'the house' becomes 'ho' (abbreviation for house).
'sot' going around 'ho' is 'SHOOT'.

'to' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?
