Capture the Moment with Our Photography Word Search
At Purple Butterfly Publishing, we believe that every great photo starts with a spark of inspiration—and a little bit of play. That’s exactly what led us to create our brand-new Photography Word Search book. It’s a puzzle collection designed for shutterbugs, creative souls, and anyone who loves the thrill of finding hidden words while soaking up the magic of photography.
About These Word Searches
We designed this book to be more than a typical pastime. Each puzzle is a visual adventure, just like stepping behind the lens. You’ll search for 12 carefully chosen words per puzzle, with each grid letting words run forward, backward, up, down, and diagonally. No easy, one-way hunting here—just like capturing the perfect photo, you’ll need patience, focus, and a sharp eye.
And while the puzzles are delightfully challenging, they’re still approachable. We didn’t go with large print for this one, because we wanted to preserve that sleek, modern photography vibe and keep the grids compact. It’s a book you can slip into a camera bag or enjoy on the couch after a day of shooting.
Inspired by the Language of Photography
The real magic lies in the word list we curated. We brainstormed everything we love about the art and craft of photography—from the technical gear to the moments we capture. Imagine spotting Battery, Tripod, and Lens, then moving on to words like Golden Hour, Silhouette, Backlight, or Cinematic Look.
You’ll even stumble across creative surprises like Parrot, Concert, Sunset, and Wedding Gown—because photography isn’t just about cameras and lights. It’s about the world we see through the viewfinder: wildlife, fashion, sports, and the stories happening all around us. Each puzzle becomes a snapshot of a different photography adventure.
A Word Search that Tells a Story
We love that each page feels like flipping through a portfolio. Some puzzles capture the excitement of a wedding day with words like Bouquet Toss, Ring Bearer, and First Dance. Others reflect the energy of city life with terms like Street Style, Graffiti, and Concert. Then there are the calm, nature-themed sets featuring words such as Elephant, Rainforest, Iceberg, and Golden Hour.
Our aim was to celebrate photography in all its forms: portrait and wildlife, sports and fashion, studio and street. Whether you’re a professional photographer, an Instagram fan, or someone who simply appreciates a well-framed shot, these puzzles invite you to relive the thrill of capturing the perfect moment.
Why We Created It
We imagined you—our fellow creatives—taking this book on photo walks, slipping it into a travel bag, or working on a puzzle while waiting for that perfect light at sunset. It’s a gentle companion for times when you want to relax, recharge, and remain engaged with the art you love.
Perfect for All Skill Levels
Since every puzzle has words arranged in all directions (forward, backward, diagonal), this book provides a fun challenge for teens and adults alike. It’s not too much, though—each grid has only 12 words, allowing you to finish a puzzle in one sitting or spread the enjoyment throughout your day.
It makes a thoughtful gift, too. Do you have a friend who's a budding photographer? Or a family member who loves puzzles? This book beautifully connects both worlds.
A Sneak Peek at the Words You’ll Hunt
Here’s just a sampling of the hundreds of terms you’ll find:
Cinematic Look, Warm, Close Up, Industrial, Gaussian, Spectator, Stop Motion
Overhead Light, Depth, Conceptual, Silhouette, Makeup Artist, Soft Shadows
Tripod Mount, Drone, Speedlight, Histogram, Natural Look, Studio
Golden Hour, Light Leak, Mirrorless, Photojournalism, Fine Art, Boudoir
Every page holds a new little gallery of words like these, weaving together the artistry and technology of photography.
Relax, Recharge, and Refocus
We understand how hectic life can get—editing sessions, client meetings, or just the daily rush. This book is our invitation to slow down. Let your mind wander as you trace letters and circle hidden gems. It’s a way to unwind while keeping your creativity alive.
You might even discover that the process sharpens your photographer’s eye. After all, noticing small details is half the craft. Searching for Light Painting, Low Key, or Bokeh in a grid feels a lot like framing a perfect shot in the wild.
Our Purple Butterfly Touch
Everything we publish reflects our love of creativity. We carefully tested these puzzles for clarity and fun, ensuring each grid is clear and each word is findable but never too simple. From the stylish cover design to the smooth interior layout, we wanted this book to feel like a keepsake—something you’d be proud to give as a gift or display on your coffee table.
Ready to Start the Hunt?
Whether you’re a professional behind the camera or someone who simply loves the magic of photography, our Photography Word Search is here to inspire you. It’s more than a puzzle book—it’s a celebration of the art form we cherish.

We can’t wait for you to flip through these pages, pencil in hand, and immerse yourself in a world of lenses, lights, and hidden words. From all of us at Purple Butterfly Publishing, happy searching—and happy shooting!
Note from Laura: I can hardly believe that we walk around with high powered cameras in our hands every day. (That’s also a phone, GPS, Address book, etc.) Remember the days you had to take film to the drug store only to discover you’d cut someone’s head off in the shot? Photography has come so far. I hope you love the book!
