A snapshot of fun: Highlights from our latest Young Learners Photography Workshop

Dive into why photography is a pivotal tool for children's learning, offering them a lens to see and appreciate the natural world in unique ways.

We recently had a fantastic time hosting a photography workshop for kids, in partnership with IMAgEN8. It was a blast seeing young photographers explore, learn, and capture the beauty of the world around them. Below, let's dive into why these workshops are so important and take a peek at what the kids managed to capture.

Why #Photographymatters for kids

Photography goes beyond just taking pictures. For kids, it's a window into observing the world in a new light. It teaches them to notice the small and big wonders of nature, sharpens their focus, and ignites their creativity. Plus, it's a fun way to learn new skills and express themselves.

Our workshop was all about getting up close with nature. Through mini-challenges, the kids learned to see the world around them in a whole new way. From zooming in on the intricate patterns of leaves to capturing the vibrant colours of flowers, they discovered beauty in details they'd never noticed before.

Developing photography skills

But it wasn't just about looking. The kids got hands-on experience with DSLR cameras, experimenting with angles and composition. They learned that with a bit of patience and creativity, they could turn their observations into stunning photographs. Watching their excitement grow from the start of the workshop to the end was truly rewarding.
