Look kindly on the photographer (5)
I believe the answer is:
smile
'look' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both related to bodily activities as well as being verbs in their base form.
Maybe they are linked in a way I don't understand?
I cannot understand how the rest of the clue works.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for smile that I've seen before include "Facial expression showing pleasure" , "Show you're pleased" , "express pleasure" , "Pleasant expression" , "Friendly facial gesture" .)
