Vision is one of the most important senses in humans and because of this the photographs are an excellent option to improve the lack of resources in Environmental Education. Photographs are a way of sensitizing and teaching the information and beauty of its components. The present article wants to establish how photographs of nature can give support to Middle School and Youths and Adults Education (EJA). Using Nature photography, presentations were made to half of the groups. The other half did not use the photographic resources. In order to test their knowledge, evaluative questionnaires were applied. At the groups that the photographs were used, there were a higher number of correct answers. Analyzing the results, it is possible to conclude that Nature photography can efficiently be used with different ages and also different levels of students as an instrument in the Environmental Education.

Keywords : Photography; Nature; Environmental Education.
