The document provides guidance on how to summarize and describe photographs in 3 sentences or less by introducing the photos, comparing and contrasting elements within them, and answering any questions about their content. Key recommendations include using adverbs and adjectives to describe visual elements clearly and employing comparative language and conditional statements to analyze similarities and differences between photos. The summary should conclude by answering any explicit or implicit questions raised about the subject matter or scenes depicted in the photographs.
