"Renai Shashin" (JA:恋愛写真; Love Photograph) is Ai Otsuka's 13th single under the avex trax label. It is also her third and final single released in 2006.

"Renai Shashin", a ballad, was used as the theme song of the movie "Tada, Kimi wo Aishiteru". The title of the movie was originally "Heavenly Forest," but was changed to a phrase from the song's lyrics after the director listened to the song.

The b-side, "Hanikami Jane", an upbeat song, was used in a CM for LOOK~a la mode~ chocolate. The third track is a live version of "Haneari Tamago," a song originally on Otsuka's 3rd album LOVE COOK.

The single debuted at #2 during its first week, selling 77,570 copies and making it Otsuka's highest debut sales of the year. "Renai Shashin" was second only to Kisarazu Cat's Eye's Seaside Byebye. It sold a total of 129,855 copies in 2006, making it the 75th best-selling single of the year.
