This project book is a visual introduction to taking pictures and making things with photographs. Youngsters will learn to master simple photographic techniques, while the text explains the concept behind each activity. Making a pinhole camera helps to explain the principles. They'll be surprised at what results they can produce with a simple compact or disposable camera and special effects filters. Or they can try new ways of mounting and framing existing snaps. The step-by-step instructions are designed to be understood at a glance, while the large-as-life photos of ingredients and finished results show youngsters exactly what they're aiming to achieve.
ISBN 1564586731 - Printed and bound in Italy. Age range not stated, but the projects include the use of small parts. Pictorial hardcover without dustjacket. 48 pages. Published by Dorling Kindersley in 1994. Photography by Dave King.
The book features a number of fun photography projects for young children. Each project has a list of things you'll need, with those items shown in life-sized photos. Next, there's an equipment checklist and, last, step-by-step instructions. The projects include things like how to crop and enlarge photos, how to make a close-up lens and a photographer's kit, and information about storing your pictures.
The thing I really like about this book is that it isn't geared toward digital photography, but to prints. This book is very much about film. It's a little dated because of that, but most of the book can be applied to working with prints you make from digital images. While I like the film aspect, plenty of other people will find that to be a negative (no pun intended!), since digital photos are cheaper and easier. But if you've got a budding photographer, there's nothing quite like the learning curve you'll get with film.
