Am I right in thinking that "avfotografera" is essentially "fotografera"? Or is it something altogether different thanks to the prefix "av-"?
The context I have is below:
"Akvarellerna som tillhör Konstakedemiens arkiv avfotograferades genom projektets försorg under 2010."
Thanks in advance for your suggestions.

: A "repro photograph" is a noun and the question was regarding a verb.
