Past perfect/past simple
Hi!
Nothing (move-passive) in the room until the police (take) photographs.
The key states that move should be in the Past Simple tense and take in the Past Perfect tense. But it doesn't sound right to me.
In my understanding it means that first, the police had taken photos and later on no one moved anything. Wouldn't it be more logical to first hadn't moved anything and then took pictures.

It means that nothing was moved before the photographing was finished, but something was (or might have been) moved after it was finished.
