A living thing

Mom told me once about a type of photography where after a living thing had died, in the case I am thinking, it was a leaf and though part was missing, in this type of photo it still appeared.

I was thinking about photographs of people and wondering if the trapped image was of anything but the body. Cause yesterday we talked about how after death a body seemed incomplete and different without it's spirit. Are photos frozen moments of a living thing or are they just images of the visible body? I sorta feel like more of an essence is captured in photos somehow, maybe that is why we "Smile at the camera" to capture emotional state, too because physical is somehow not enough to record a living thing.
