What exactly does memotret mean here? Is it like “to take a photo”?
Yes. Memotret means to photograph / to take a photo (with a camera).
- The root potret means portrait/photo.
- The prefix me- turns it into a verb: memotret = to photograph.

You may also hear:
- memfoto – more colloquial, based on foto.
- mengambil foto – literally “to take a photo”, also common and natural.
All three can work, with memotret being slightly more formal/standard.
Can I say mengambil foto or berfoto instead of memotret? What’s the difference?
