There are a few key elements to describing a photo or picture. First, use "there is/are" to identify what objects are in the picture. Second, use the present continuous tense to describe what actions people in the picture are doing. Finally, locations of objects and people can be specified using prepositions like "at the top," "in the middle," "on the left," etc. Descriptions may also note things that are unclear using modal verbs.
