A photographing method is provided. In the method, based on a video call between terminals at two places, each terminal previews, in a preset template, real-time preview video streams of the two parties. The two parties may separately adjust a picture of a local preview stream, and obtain a respective high-definition image through snapping when a preview group photo image is satisfying. Through file backhaul, one terminal can generate a high-resolution remote group photo based on snapped high-definition images of the terminals, a picture adjustment parameter during snapping, and the preset template.
