I have a VERY visual memory. But I'm not sure if a photographic memory is just a really intense version of a visual memory or if it's only distantly related.
Before this brain fog (!) I used to be able to look at a page of German voab and it would somehow end up in my brain. Probably because there weren't great chunks of text all over the place, I wasn't able to do it with other stuff like History or books. But it wasn't really photographic- I did see the form of the list, but it was all fuzzy, couldn't zoom in, and the essence of a photographic memory is that you can probably zoom in and read words off the screen in your mind. The words I knew, I did see them in my mind, but it wasn't like I had a book up there
