Abstract
This paper reports the findings of a survey conducted to investigate how students analyse landscape photography. 75 middle school students (12-15 years old) participated in the survey. The results demonstrated that landscape photograph descriptions by middle school students are poor, with many trifling details and uncoordinated elements. They indicate that landscape descriptions are more coherent than imagined and provide evidence of individual strategies of analysis. The questions which they provoke are generally relevant to the subject but of an elementary nature. The implications for the methodological and pedagogical contributions of photographs have been overlooked in geography.
