A recognition method for a photographed object, comprising: activating a photographing device of a terminal to auto-focus a photographed object in response to receiving a photographing instruction; obtaining a post-focusing focal distance of the photographing device after the photographing device successfully focuses on the photographed object; and determining whether an object type of the photographed object is a photograph based on the post-focusing focal distance; wherein determining whether the object type of the photographed object is a photograph based on the post-focusing focal distance comprises: determining whether a distance between the photographing device and the photographed object is less than a preset threshold based on the post-focusing focal distance, where the preset threshold is a minimum distance needed for the photographing device to capture a live object, and the object type includes a live object and a photograph; characterized in that determining whether the object type of the photographed object is a photograph based on the post-focusing focal distance further comprises: obtaining image data of the photographed object generated according to the photographing instruction if the distance between the photographing device and the photographed object is less than a preset threshold; detecting whether pre-acquired remade photograph features exist in the image data; and determining that the object type of the photographed object is a photograph if pre-acquired remade photograph features exist in the image data; wherein the pre-acquired remade photograph features comprise a resolution of an image, two-dimensional information in an image, fingerprint information on an image surface, and reflected light information on an image surface. activating a photographing device of a terminal to auto-focus a photographed object in response to receiving a photographing instruction;
