A photographing device successively performs temporary photographing operations and main photographing operations in a predetermined photographing mode. In the temporary photographing operation, a through picture that is displayed on a monitor of the photographing device is temporarily stored in a temporary storage as a reference picture for composition matching. After the temporary photographing operation, the reference picture is processed into a semitransparent picture and mixed with a through picture that is continuously changing to form a composite picture and, the composite picture is displayed on the monitor instead of the through picture. When the shutter button is half-depressed, a photographing instruction message informing that a photograph can be taken is displayed superposed on the picture on the monitor. When the shutter button is fully depressed, an ordinary photographing processing is performed, and a photographed picture is stored in a picture storage memory that is different from the temporary storage. A first individual may perform a temporary photographing with the photographing device to take a temporary picture with a desired composition, and then may ask a second individual to photograph a main picture including the first individual with the photographing device. The second individual may perform a framing operation to superpose portions in the displayed composite picture except an image of the first individual and depress the shutter button, thereby photographing a picture substantial having a composition intended by the first individual. <IMAGE>
