Photography Analysis Pack — 8 Genre Sheets

Eight photography analysis worksheets for GCSE and A Level — portrait to abstract, with looking prompts, SEND support version and glossary of key terms.

Each genre sheet — portrait, landscape, documentary, street, still life, architecture, fashion, abstract — pairs five targeted looking prompts with space for notes and one argued paragraph. The prompts change with the genre; the writing structure stays constant, so students build a repeatable analytical habit across a term.

Included (print PDF + fully editable PowerPoint):

• Teacher guide — lesson sequences, image sources, marking for evidence
• 8 genre-specific analysis worksheets
• Scaffolded support version with sentence starters and word bank (SEND/EAL)
• Glossary of 20 key photographic terms

Ships without images by design — use exam-board starting points, gallery collections or students’ own work, and stay clean on copyright. British Dyslexia Association style guidance throughout. Also suits BTEC and UAL photography, and Media Studies image analysis.

Made by a university photography educator — twenty years behind the camera, more than a decade teaching it. Try our free Reading a Photograph worksheet first — then this pack takes the same habit across every genre.
