To hop around making a picture (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

photo

'a picture' is the definition.
(photo is a kind of picture)

'to hop around' is the wordplay.
'around' indicates an anagram.
'to'+'hop'='tohop'
'tohop' is an anagram of 'PHOTO'.

'making' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for photo that I've seen before include "This race finish is very close" , "Still" , "Pic (abbr)" , "Snap, picture" , "Snap, pic" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
