photo dump
/poto dump/from spelling rules
The English phrase 'photo dump' can be translated into Spanish as photo dump.
A 'photo dump' refers to a collection of multiple photos posted together on social media, often without a specific theme.
Which one should you use?
You can also use the informal Spanish expressions Avalancha de fotos or Montón de fotos.
Did you know?
- While photo dump is used online, Spanish speakers often use the word carrete (meaning 'film roll') to describe a collection of photos from a specific event or trip.
- If you use the literal translation avalancha de fotos, you are technically describing a 'photo avalanche'. This sounds much more dramatic and chaotic than the English version, implying the photos are tumbling down a mountain.
- Spanish often uses the verb subir (to upload/go up) when talking about a photo dump, reflecting the conceptual movement of images 'up' into the cloud.
Examples in context
- Mis amigos subieron una avalancha de fotos a las redes sociales después de la fiesta.My friends uploaded an avalanche of photos to social media after the party.
- Voy a subir un photo dump de mis vacaciones.I am going to upload a photo dump of my vacation.
