Questions & Answers about Я люблю фотографировать друзей в парке.

Why is друзей used instead of друзья in this sentence?

Because друзей is the accusative plural form of друзья (friends).

• The base word is:
  • друг – friend (singular, nominative)
  • друзья – friends (plural, nominative)
• After любить (to love / to like), the object must be in the accusative case:
  • люблю кого? что? – I love whom / what?
• The accusative plural of друзья is друзей:
  • Я люблю друзей. – I love (my) friends.

For animate masculine nouns (people, animals), the accusative plural form is the same as the genitive plural, which is why друзей looks different from друзья.
