Photo / photo frame

Can I say,

(a) She hangs a photo frame on the wall.

(b) She hangs a frame of photo on the wall.

(c) She hangs a photo on the wall.
  

Top answer

You can actually use (a) and also (c). If you use a) then you reffer to the fact that she hangs a frame on the wall,which suggests the frame is empty and she is simply putting it on the wall. b) it simply suggests that she hangs a photo on a wall.
