Words that rhyme with Photograph
On the page, photograph is a low-register anchor; on the ear it's a three-syllable word on the flat /æ/ that doesn't really close at all. It's a word everyone uses — which is what makes it powerful in a lyric. Two readings: as data — perfect rhymes simply aren't available, no family-rhyme matches turn up, the slant-by-vowel pool is enormous; as lyric — a low-register anchor. The slant column is doing the heavy lifting; let it.

Why photograph rhymes the way it does
In our engine, photograph registers as a three-syllable word on the front-and-flat /æ/ (/æ/) that tails off through an approximant. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 0 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 103, assonance 7,599, and consonance 0. That's a narrow strict column with a very deep slant well beneath it. Modern songwriting reads those slants as rhymes; the ear has been trained on them for a century. Practical guidance: read the song aloud and listen for where a slant would tighten the line. Strict rhymes are the structural skeleton; the slant columns are where the personality of the lyric lives. With photograph, the slant work is doing more weight-bearing than it looks.
