A photographing method and an apparatus include: using two photographing modules to acquire images of a to-be-photographed object at a first moment and a second moment after a preset time interval, and determining a distance of the to-be-photographed object according to image points formed by a point of the to-be-photographed object on photosensitive devices of the two photographing modules, and parameters of the two photographing modules; calculating a variation between the distances of the to-be-photographed object at the first moment and the second moment; determining whether the variation is less than or equal to a preset value; and photographing the to-be-photographed object if yes.
