i think that even in america, the more common usage is to "take" a 
photograph.  i think ansel adams might have been the one who popularized 
the "make a photograph" phrase, hence those serious students of 
photography such as might be found on the LUG  would affect the same 
jargon.   "make" implies more a creativity process and less aggression 
than "take."
