The road to photography as we know it today was very long. Through camera obscura, daguerotype and talbotypia to the birth of modern color photography for which James Clerk-Maxwel is credited. However, in today's modern age, smartphones have become commonplace and it is through them that children have greater access to photography. The aim of this research is to examine how primary school students apply the process of photography to the set tasks, and to what extent the instructions on this procedure will affect their final work in the form of photography. The practical part referred to the comparison of photographs of students taken at home and at school and photographing the setting of the composition at school. The research was conducted in the Art Culture class with fourth grade students. It was necessary to compare the composition, the choice of background, the angle from which the photos were taken, the background on which the object is located and the light, in the shadow if it is present. And in the second task, it was explored how students perceive composing and framing two objects as opposed to one. The research largely fulfilled expectations. The students realized that they had to eliminate other objects from the frame, but it happened to them that by paying attention to unnecessary objects, they did not put both motives in the frame. The first task for the students was simpler, they managed to pay attention to the main motive and to eliminate unnecessary objects around the main motive.
