Any developmental process that results in the creation of defined areas or spaces within an organism to which cells respond and eventually are instructed to differentiate. The process whereby a relatively unspecialized cell acquires the specialized features of an eye photoreceptor cell. The regionalization process that coordinates the recruitment and organization of other non-R8 photoreceptors by the R8 photoreceptor. The pattern specification process by which an axis or axes is subdivided in space to define an area or volume in which specific patterns of cell differentiation will take place or in which cells interpret a specific environment. The process whose specific outcome is the progression of a light-responsive receptor in the compound eye over time, from its formation to the mature structure. Development of a photoreceptor, a sensory cell in the eye that reacts to the presence of light. They usually contain a pigment that undergoes a chemical change when light is absorbed, thus stimulating a nerve.
