A photographing method includes entering a slow shutter photographing mode, dividing each frame of image of the photographed object into a light trail region, a background light source region, and a non-light-source region, merging the light trail regions of the frames of images, setting a merged light trail region as a light trail region of a target image, setting the background light source regions of one or more of the frames of images as a background light source region of the target image to avoid overexposure, merging the non-light-source regions of one or more of the frames of images, setting a merged non-light-source region as a non-light-source region of the target image to enhance brightness of the non-light-source region, and storing the target image after obtaining a photographing instruction.
