"Say cheese" is the instruction used by photographers who want their subject or subject to smile. By saying "cheese", most people mold their mouths into something that looks like a smile.
Because this practice has been ingrained into modern western culture, it has taken a simple role from the last warning before a photograph was taken. Often subjects will only use the phrase "say cheese" as a gesture to enter their last pose and to smile, ignoring to actually say "cheese".
Over the years, many other words have been used instead of cheese . For comedic effects, a photographer might say "Say ______" fills the void with words relevant to the event or action he or she takes (eg, "Say Geddy Lee" during a beach photo). Other times someone will fill the void with an unreasonable or seemingly arbitrary word of their choice.

History
At the end of the 19th century, different aesthetic and behavioral norms required that the mouth remain small, which caused the photographer to use the phrase "say prune".

In different languages ​​and cultures
Perhaps because of the strong Western influence, especially in the field of photography, and perhaps due to the increasing number of Western visitors after the photography equipment became widely available, the phrase "Say cheese" also went into Japanese. However, the word "say" is almost always derived from the phrase, which results in the phrase being only "Cheese." It's usually spoken in Japanese (and written in katakana) as "chiizu" (???).
Other languages ​​have adopted this method, although with different words that sound similar to cheese to get the desired effect of forming the mouth to form a smile.
