A first guide to seeing in pictures

Sonja McGiboney introduces photography through practical ways of looking: noticing color, light and shadow, changing the camera’s orientation, and trying different perspectives. The book frames pictures as a way to capture emotions and tell stories, with photographic examples alongside its tips. Although many examples were made with a DSLR, the description notes that the techniques can also be used with a cell phone. Gear and technical terminology are not the focus; the emphasis is on accessible ways to begin making more considered images.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Children in elementary school who are curious about photography
  • Young beginners seeking picture-taking ideas usable with a cell phone
  • Families looking for an introductory, example-led photography guide

Book overview

Photography for Children offers quick tips for taking interesting pictures and provides beautiful examples. It introduces using photos to capture color, emotions, and stories. It shows how turning the camera sideways, looking at the light and shadows, and taking photos from different perspectives will help capture stunning images.

 

Though most of the images in this book were taken with a DSLR camera, the techniques shared can be obtained with a cell phone.

 

Sonja McGiboney has been capturing history with her camera for over ten years. She's recorded weddings, new babies, bike races, birthday parties, graduations, portraits, family gatherings, and more.

 

This book is written to instill an interest in photography in children in elementary school. It is not an in-depth explanation of photography gear or terminology.
