It isn't necessary to take any action for a photograph to be protected. Copyright protection is automatic, as soon as work of sufficient originality is "fixed in a tangible medium, perceptible to human eye, machine reader or other device".
If you do decide that you want or need the additional protection a formally registered copyright can afford, contact the copyright office in your country for the proper procedure.
