What does 'snapping away' mean here?
Alan, through his website artbusiness.com, attends almost every art
opening that goes down in San Francisco. Like 10 in one night, he's
zipping across town to cover everything that's opening. From the
greatest shows to the shittest, he's there snapping away. He's not
human. We have no idea he does it. How does he stomach it all? We
asked.

In this case, "snapping away" almost certainly means he was taking pictures of the art. "Snapping" refers to the click of an analog camera, and is the onomatopoeia from which Snapchat got its name.
