I'm looking for a "native english" alternative to the word "photograph".
To give an example, we have the word "Lichtbild" in German, which
describes the concept of an image created by or using light in native
german words. Is there an analogous word in English or has "photography"
been the first and only term ever used to describe photographs? Thank you
very much.

'Snapshot' or 'Snap' were common terms when I was young.

'Snapshot' or more commonly 'Snap' are often used. I think these terms
originated c1900
