Photographed in pieces (7)
I believe the answer is:
snapped
'photographed' is the definition.
('snap' can be a synonym of 'photograph')
I don't understand how the remainder of the clue works.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for snapped that I've seen before include "Took photograph" , "Broke sharply" , "Broke; photographed" , "lost temper" , "Bit" .)
