I'm trying to do some picture descriptions to practice my Japanese (which is
quite at a beginner level), just to avoid to focus only on grammar and 漢字
memorization, which can become really boring sometimes.

So my question is, how could I express something like `This picture is about
xxx` or `In this picture, (you can see/there is) xxx` in Japanese?

My attempt at this is

> このしゃしんの中に、ｘｘｘいます。
>
> (xxx = the main object in the photo)

Any comment or suggestion about this?

I was looking for easy sentence patterns. I don't aim at building complex
discourses, I'm just trying to keep the level slightly higher with respect to
what I can achieve without consulting a dictionary or grammar.

Sentence patterns for starting a picture description
> This picture is about xxx.

You would say 「この[写真]{しゃしん}はxxxです。」 Alternatively you could say it
「これは、xxxの[写真]{しゃしん}です。」 (Literally 'This is a photo of xxx').

> In this picture, (you can see/there is) xxx.

「この写真には、xxxが[写]{うつ}っています。」
